While this is indeed how the slider is supposed to work, the problem here is the screen will dim to that set level after about a minute of idle (or sometimes even if there is no idling), regardless of whether "dim screen while idle" is set or whether the user has set a screen brightness other than that setting manually.
"Dim when idle" should only do so when the option is selected. -- [Gutsy]Backlight brightness dims after a minute of idle on battery, regardless of preferences. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151018 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
