Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
with "dim the screen when inactive" if i leave the pc alone for a while, it is recognized as inactive, and the screen is dimmed...
then if i move the mouse, the pc is again active, and the brightness is reset to its last value... thus working fine...
but if i leave the mouse pointer on a menu, like: applications menu in ubuntu, file menu in whatever gnome program, a contextual menu....
after a while the pc is feeled as inactive and the screen dimmed....
but if i move the mouse inside the menu:
from applications-
or from file->new to file->open... or from one voice in the contextual menu to another...
the pc isn't sensed as active, and is kept dimmed indefinitely...
until i click somewhere, or exit briefly the menu...
