On some devices, swiping to adjust brightness could only go down to 1%, instead of 0%

I'm glad I'm not the only person to have thought that bug was a feature. I don't want to turn the light completely off with the slider. It's now pretty much impossible for me to set the light to 1% without using the menu, so with the new firmware, I've had to turn off the left-edge slider entirely. I want my slide-to-1% option back!

Changing the light settings in the dark with the slider was useful if I couldn't inadvertently turn off the light, because the only direction I'd need to slide was usually down. Sliding back up and down to try to get it right now means I alternate between full dark and flashlight-in-the-face. Maybe we could at least get lower sensitivity on the slider so that it doesn't jump so far on a single swipe?
