S4 Screen Dims after a while when on charge

Strange thing - I've just got my S4 back from repair and it's been reset to factory settings.

I've just finished restoring everything and setting things the way I like however there is one issue I can't solve.

I have set the Developer option to "Stay Awake" whilst charging. But after about a minute the screen dims. I noticed it today whilst in the car listening to BBC iPlayer Radio.

I know for a fact that it never used to do this and it used to stay on full brightness whilst I had it on charge in the cradle in the car.

I've checked through all the settings but I can't work out how to fix it.

Display > Brightness > Automatic Brightness = off
Display > Auto Adjust Screen Tone > off
 
Ok - I've just changed the setting Display > Screen Timeout to 10 minutes and now it stays bright (it was previously set to 1 minute)

But I guess it will dim again after 10 minutes. My point is, it never used to dim AT ALL when on charge and the maximum for this setting is 10 minutes.
