Public bug reported:
I'm using a dell E7440 laptop with a backlit keyboard, and the keyboard
backlight fades out apparently the millisecond you hit a key, where it
should behave like you hit a key and it stays lit for some time.
This worked in 16.04 on this laptop as of a few days ago, and now that
I've installed 18.04, it seems to no longer function.
it is in fact set to 10s by default in /sys/devices/platform/dell-
laptop/leds/dell\:\:kbd_backlight/stop_timeout
however that is apparently being ignored -- if you change that file then
it starts working. That's sort of a workaround resolution, but it should
work by default.
not a hugely important bug, but might save someone time and annoyance in
the future, so im reporting it.
