Public bug reported:
When I try to change the screen brightness using my Laptop's keyboard it
shows me a "bar" that the screen brightness changes. However, the actual
brightness does not change.
If I tell the computer to change the brightness, then disconnect the
charger, close the lid, wait a few seconds and re-open the lid the
screen's actual brightness changes to the last one I set.
This work-around works for me, but it is very annoying. If all I want to
do is reduce brightness to save power I also need to make my computer
sleep and wake it up again so that the brightness is applied. I do not
have the immediate feedback to see if it is bright enough for my
environment.
