Description Brandon Watkins 2013-08-20 05:05:27 UTC 
My brightness settings are as follows: On AC dim screen disabled, brightness %100. On battery brightness 50% and dim screen enabled.

If I unplug the AC the screen dims as expected. If I quickly plug it in (before additional screen dimming happens) brightness returns to 100% as expected.

However if I wait 2 minutes for the "dim screen" to take effect, and THEN plug the AC in, the brightness returns to 50% instead of the 100% that is specified to the AC profile. I can reproduce this every time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unplug AC
2. Wait 2 mins for screen to dim all the way
3. Plug AC
Actual Results:  
Screen returns to 50% brightness (which is wrong).

Expected Results:  
Screen returns to 100% brightness

I cannot reproduce this. If the screen dims, I plug in the AC, the screen turns to the configured brightness for AC.
