I second that and turn to manual brightness until its fixed.

One thing I’ve noticed is that if you’re sitting in a dark room, your screen is at the lowest brightness and you open a mostly white page, like this forum in the browser, the brightness will keep going up until it hits the maximum brightness, despite the fact that you’re still sitting in a dark room. I think this is because the sensor is a bit too sensitive and assumes that the white light reflected on your face is actually a light source.

Maybe that or the Screen-Light reflects on the Bumber-Edges back to the Brightness-Sensor.

I have noticed the same effect reading these white pages of this forum (on C2 5.0.0.43 in browser). It can not be caused by outside reflection (for example from face) because it is happening when I cover the light sensor with my hand. The light sensor passed the test in CSD tools.
