Bug Description
Since upgrading to kubuntu 16.04, the screen brightness remains low (dimmed) after a period of inactivity even when the user becomes active again. Laptop is on AC power throughout.
Steps to reproduce:
* in system settings->energy saving set dim period to 5 min
* after 10 min screen is dimmed
* when moving mouse and after possibly unlocking screen, the screen brightness remains low
Expect to happen: screen brightness goes back up
Workaround: When screen brightness stays too low, go to system settings->energy saving, select
box "Screen brightness", select any Level of brightness different from current value, and click Apply.
