Public bug reported:
When my Dell E6420 is on battery power, the power indicator reports two
phantom batteries in addition to the real one. They appear as two menu
entries as well as two items in the left column of the indicator window.
Clicking on any of these superfluous entries or items causes the
indicator window to not appear or to close.
The phantom batteries are reported as empty (red empty icon in the
indicator window), and yesterday, even though the real battery was full
and reported as such, I was informed through a black bubble that my
computer was going to hibernate due to empty battery, which it
effectively did. I cancelled the hibernation procedure (I am using
TuxOnIce), and the hibernation-on-low-power mechanism did not trigger
again.
