Public bug reported: If I change brightness (using laptop's Fn+keys for intensity) while in Unity, (GUI) it is sluggish, almost freezes the OS shortly, any process, including video stutters.
If the same action is done in non graphic enviroment, like after Alt- Ctrl+F1 , then the intensity is changed fast and with great responsiveness.
