** Description changed: The drop-down menu for the indicator-applet battery icon menu says "Laptop battery (estimating...)" At a minimum this be fixed to read "Laptop batter (estimating time...)" or "Laptop battery (estimating battery life...)". Ideally if the remaining battery *time* is not known (because less than sufficient datapoints have been collected to enable estimation) then the percentage should be displayed in-lieu. The percentage is already available and is used to drive the indicator-applet icon itself. The current implementation is specified by: - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu#Items + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu#Items but because the "estimating..." text can exist for days-on-end (nearly a week in the case of this computer) it probably needs a slight tweak or design addition to take account of the time estimation not being available for long periods of time. + + See bug #629258 for previous (lukewarm) discussions on the lower-stack + issues. This two bugs might want re-splitting/sorting again based on + those that relate to the chrono estimate not being known, and those that + relate to the pointless display of that unknown data for long periods of + time.
