Bug ID: 436831
Summary: Lowering display brightness to 0% turns screen off
only with keyboard shortcut, not with battery plasmoid
Product: Powerdevil
Version: 5.21.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: zor...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
(This may be the wrong product; please reassign it if so.)
SUMMARY
When lowering the display brightness with your laptop's hotkeys to 0%, the
screen is turned off. This arguably makes sense. But when doing the same with
the Energy Information ("battery") plasmoid, it behaves instead simply dips to
a very low brightness and never turns off.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a laptop
2. Lower display brightness to 0% with keyboard shortcuts
3. Observe the screen turning off
4. Raise brightness again
5. Lower display brightness to 0% with the battery plasmoid
OBSERVED RESULT
A very dark screen, sub-5% brightness.
EXPECTED RESULT
Screen turns off, or at the very least behaves consistently with point 3.
