Description [object Object] 2022-06-14 14:31:26 UTC 
SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE 5.25.0
2. Drag the brightness slider above ~45%
3. Rather than working correctly the screen flashes the higher brightness and then resets to ~10%

This is an intel backlight (framework laptop).
Setting the brightness to 100% manually through `echo 96000 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness` works fine.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4

This seems to be unrelated to whatever I set the brightness to on battery/low battery though. It starts bugging out at exactly 47%, which none of my brightness levels are set to.

I'm having the exact same problem with my framework laptop on KDE neon, which is Ubuntu based
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2022-06-27 21:11:57 UTC 
The fix is in Plasma 5.25.1. Is that the version you're running, or do you still have 5.25.0? If so, just wait for the update to 5.25.1.
