Successfully installed the latest 4.4 kernel and can confirm that the problem persists. I would like to point out another bug most likely related to it.
When resuming from stand-by the keyboard backlight is off and screen is on full power i.e. not restored from when computer went to sleep. When pressing the shortcut buttons to change backlight or screen brightness it immediately switches to the last configuration, from 0 to 50 % for example. Should I report it as a separate bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506914 Title: Screen brightness not working using keyboard shortcut fn+F5/F6 not working.
