Public bug reported: If I decrease the screen brightness using the Fn-F5 key to the lowest level, after a few seconds of inactivity (without touching the keyboard nor the touchpad) the screen brightness goes up automatically to a medium level. Then, as soon as I move the pointer, the brightness is increased to the maximum level.
>From this point on, the screen brighness alternates automatically between medium/maximum level. That is, it decreases when idle, and increases when using the keyboard or mouse. The expected behaviour is that brightness does not change by itself once set using the Fn keys. This bug happens when on battery power. I didn't try on AC power.
