That pretty much sounds like the typical behavior of a display with automatic backlight control. It will measure in hardware the amount of dark/black pixels and lower the overall brightness according to this. The more dark pixels the lower the backlight. Its hard to believe it happens only in E though, you probably just tried to maximize other windows elsewere, and not largely black windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
