** Description changed:
- The mouse over text for the battery icon says "Laptop battery (estimating...)"
- Could this not be extended to "Laptop battery (estimating battery life...)"
without any loss?
- It will leave less options for being confused/in doubt.
+ 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
+
+ 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.
** Changed in: indicator-applet
Status: New => Confirmed
