Default Screen Brightness Shortcut glitch?

Well just like on the Vibrant if u swipe across the top of the screen left to right you can control the brightness. For some reason when swiping from left to right to turn brightness to max, it makes my screen go black like it has been locked and i have to press the power button to wake the phone back up. Has anyone else noticed this??? I doubt its supposed to do this....

Seems like i may have another reason besides the lines in my screen to do an exchange.

I can duplicate this when viewing a pdf but not from the home screen.

Works fine for me. I did it as soon as I read the op haha

Edit: Although, if I go too fast, I can replicate the black screen.
