After doing a remote session from my Mac mini to Air using Finder - Go - Connect to server, I often see the physical MacBook Air display is turned down that I can barely see. Also the keyboard buttons to increase display brightness do not work. Has anybody seen this issue and know how to fix it? Thank you.
 
Weirdly this happens to me when I use Screen Sharing to my Air and I pick the "High Performance" option that shows a higher resolution screen. Every single time I've tried that, when I disconnect I'm left with my display all dimmed down like you describe -- and then I'm forced to restart. I don't know how this is connected to your issue, but the symptom is very similar.

Exactly. Is this the page to report a bug to Apple?

Btw you can go to display settings when this occurs but the brightness slider is missing

Yeah, that's the page. If it's under AppleCare you can call in and make them try to figure it out.
