The default value is 0. Once you set it to something else it's impossible to get it back to 0 without using the keyboard or making the window wider and trying again. Casual users won't do either, and will be stuck with a setting they don't want. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the Desktop preferences 2. Set the brightness to something else than 0 3. Try to set the brightness to 0 Actual Results: Brightness ends up at 1 or -2.
Works fine here. I can easily select 0 with the mouse only after selecting a different value. The window sizing (and thus the slider sizing) is dependent on your theme and font size. Nothing I can do about this.
Can you select -2, -1 and 1 as well?

-1 doesn't work without a window resize. Regardless, there's no way to fix this reliably across themes.

This sizing depends on the gtk theme in use and the current font size, and probably other things. The slider has 255 steps. If fewer than 255 pixels are allocated for the slider trough, then some values won't be selectable by the mouse. That's just how it is.
I unintentionally came across as way too harsh in my previous message. I hope you can overlook that. The problem is this: It's not possible to select the default and sensible value of 0 using the mouse. The standard solution to this problem is to replace the value label with a spin button. That won't fix the slider, but it solves the stated problem, as it's now possible to select 0 with the mouse. Also, it goes from -50 to 50, right? (I'm on Windows now, so I can't test.) Then 100 steps should be enough. 255 is not needed.
No, it goes from -127 to 128. Or -128 to 127. One of those. Really, this isn't a big deal. I'm not 'fixing' this.
