Title:
  Keyboard Brightness control not operable using keyboard or mouse
  scrollwheel

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  At the power settings there is a slider for setting the "Keyboard Brightness".
  My ThinkPad T460s supports three levels: off, dim, bright

  With clicking and/or dragging I could move the slider to either the
  left-most, center, or right-most position.

  However when place the mouse cursor on top of it and use the scroll wheel, I 
could not move the slider.
  Same happens when I try to use the cursor keys on the keyboard.

  My assumption: When using the scroll wheel or the keyboard, the slider
  is moved by only a small fraction. So if the left-most position is 0%
  and the right-most is 100%, it will try to increment it by 10%. It
  does so, but as the only valid values are 0%, 50%, and 100%, it tries
  to round it to the nearest value, which is 0%, so it jumps back to
  where it was. You can see the slider briefly jump a short distance but
  only very briefly, not much more than a flicker.

  While I could just click/drag with the mouse to change the slider, for
  some people it might be an accessibility issue and thus I believe this
  should be fixed somehow.
