Public bug reported:

This problem only happens when I'm working with two monitors.
If I press the keyboard button "Brightness down", the screen resolution of one 
of my monitors changes. If I press it again, the laptop's screen turns off.
I can restore my original configuration by going to 'System settings' -> 
'Displays'
This problem doesn't happen when pressing "Brightness up" button.

If I change the resolution by going to 'System setting' -> 'Brightness &
lock', I don't get any problems.

It seems to happen only when:
* Pressing the keyboard button &
* Decreasing brightness &
* Having multiple monitors

I have attached a video showing the problem.
