Strange Bug - Latest SciTE version sets brightness to 100%

Post by crazy_bull » 25 Jan 2015, 20:16

I installed the latest version of SciTE4AutoHotkey, 3.0.06.01. I'm running Windows 7.

Whenever I launch ScitTE4AutoHotkey, it sets screen brightness to 100%. Whenever I close SciTE4AutoHotkey, it restores screen brightness to the initial level. No AutoHotkey scripts are running at the time.

Any idea regarding what's causing this and how I can resolve it?

Try the following:
However, there are many more settings to customize. They must be configured using SciTE property files. The recommended file to edit is the User properties file (SciTEUser.properties). You can open it by going to Options > "Open User properties". SciTE property lines take this format:
# This is a comment
variable.name=value
There MUST NOT be spaces around the equals (=) sign.
Add the technology=0 in there

I added the technology=0 setting to User.Properties, but it no effect.

SciTE continues to set brightness to 100% when launched.

Hmm, when you terminate SciTE does the brightness go back to normal?

Yes, the brightness goes back to normal when SciTE is closed.

some laptops auto adjust screen brightness depending upon the program that is running

My system is a desktop, and the brightness change doesn't happen for ANY of the other 30 programs I run. In fact, this is the first time in thirty years of using a PC that I've ever encountered a program that changes brightness to 100% upon launch. Even SciTE4AutoHokey didn't use to do this, and I've used it for years.
