--- Comment #18 from Tim Siegel <siege...@gmail.com> ---
This bug is still present, KDE 5.24.4.
There are 5 proposed solutions, ranked from worst to best.
1. Do nothing, it works as intended.
2. Keep the same behavior, except dim less (90%, 75%). This will cause just as
much end-user confusion, while also upsetting people who are used to the
current behavior.
3. Keep the same behavior, but document it in the settings interface. This is
the least we could do, should ruffle no feathers, and won't even unbalance the
UI since that page already contains several long textual explanations.
4. Keep the behavior as is, except change the dimming times to be 1, ⁵⁄₄, ³⁄₂
(instead of ½, ¾, 1), so the screen stays full brightness until the requested
dimming time.
5. Remove this unnecessary feature. Dim 50% at the requested time, and let
"Screen Energy Saving: Switch off" do the rest.
"Do nothing" has been the KDE response for a decade at this point, and yet it
is clearly the wrong answer. There is no way to read "Dim screen: After 3
minutes" to mean "50% at 1:30".
