14.13 Bug: Backlight Settings Not Respected During Activity

Backlight Settings - During Activity are still not respected, causing unnecessary battery drain.

Whenever I go into an activity (preloaded activity like Run/Bike, not downloaded ConnectIQ apps), no matter the time of day, via the start button, the backlight automatically comes on at 50% and stays on indefinitely. It is easy to miss the light staying on during the day, resulting in accelerated battery drain.

My backlight settings during activity are as follows:

Keys - Off

Alerts - Off

Gesture - Off

Timeout - No Timeout (I need this on no timeout for outdoor evening runs, I cannot be manually pressing the light button every minute to keep the backlight on)

Brightness - 50%

My general use backlight settings are as follows:

Keys - Off

Alerts - Off

Gesture - Off

Timeout - 15 Seconds

Brightness - 5%

I have previously submitted an official bug report for this with a video. Never had this issue on the 245.
