Public bug reported: The display is dimming after a few seconds of "inactivity" despite turning off the setting to dim the display. This seems to occur on any power setting and a reboot did not solve the problem. This makes activities such as reading difficult as the display becomes harder to read and I have to interact with the computer more than necessary to keep the screen bright.
