Public bug reported: This problem only happens when I'm working with two monitors. If I press the keyboard button "Brightness down", the screen resolution of one of my monitors changes. If I press it again, the laptop's screen turns off. I can restore my original configuration by going to 'System settings' -> 'Displays' This problem doesn't happen when pressing "Brightness up" button.
If I change the resolution by going to 'System setting' -> 'Brightness & lock', I don't get any problems. It seems to happen only when: * Pressing the keyboard button & * Decreasing brightness & * Having multiple monitors I have attached a video showing the problem.
