Bug Description
Whenever I start my laptop the brightness is at maximum. If I turn it down (I set it to minimum) it returns to maximum if I change user account. To be clear, it will still be maximum if I then switch back to the original user account. Very occasionally it has also reset to maximum when I switch workspace, but I can't recreate this behaviour consistently so I'm wary of saying it's the same problem.
My expected behaviour is that the brightness level should stay where I set it, as it did in previous releases. Output of lsb_release -rd, lshw and lspci are below, in that order.
