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.
