Seriously.. if I was a manufacturer, it would scared me if there was a "known bug" or even more, a "known bug list"...

Normally I set the light only once.. but we need that option to slide the screen to adjust the light (NOT) . |
Yeah, we do need to slide adjust for the light setting as its far easier than going into the menu. I change the light setting often especially when ambient lighting is always changing or as my eyes adjust or starting aching... maybe you have not hit that magical age where that stuff starts to happen
I see no reason to put down a good feature you don't use and surely you can at least see that it's a good feature, maybe not for you, but if the feature makes sense, then why complain about it especially if you are not using it. I also will put the device down and slide the light off and walk away, maybe for an hour, maybe longer, and I don't worry about killing the battery as it runs forever without the light or wifi active - not comfortable sleeping the device right now because when the device wakes up, the screen is frozen and I have to power down/up to resolve the issue.
I get your reason concerning adding new features and not fixing bugs and maybe that applies to the above feature, although, that does not seem like a hard feature to implement since the touch screen is already part of the device so I can't see much coding involved as they are just calling another aspect of code already written into the device for light adjustments.
We are not sure how the company operates as they may have a team of developers dedicated to bug fixes and a different team dedicated to new features. Still, I can't argue with the fact that maybe everyone should have been directed to fix the bugs first, then move on. I have worked in IT and supported the development team and pushed all their releases to production and although they (dev team) may have wanted to fix bugs, sometimes management has a different idea. Many times, the people that decide what get's fixed have already committed to a schedule to release certain new features and plenty of times those new features were being demanded by senior management so one can never fully understand software release logic (per particular company) when clueless people are making the final decisions, especially being on the outside.
