Public bug reported: Every time I adjust my laptop's screen brightness using the dedicated brightness keys, there is a substantial delay between when I press the button and the screen adjusts. Sometimes it even "twitches" and decreasing the brightness by tapping the button two times will quickly drop the brightness all the way to the lowest setting after the delay takes place. I've noticed the issue in the default Ubuntu session and in my current vanilla gnome-session. It also doesn't matter which extensions I have installed. The keys work flawlessly in Windows so it isn't a hardware issue. I have been meaning to report this for a while and have just never gotten around to it until just now.
