Public bug reported: gnome-power-statistics sometimes gets the wrong value for Energy when full, causing the battery indicator to show nearly empty when it's nowhere near empty.
For example: slice 14:29:01 ~$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full 67410000 slice 14:31:52 ~$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full_design 67000000 slice 14:31:57 ~$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_now 28310000 Meanwhile, gnome-power-statistics is correctly showing Energy (design) as 67.0Wh, but Energy when full as 633.7Wh, roughly a factor of 10 too high. Interestingly, although it then calculates that the battery has about 6.1% left, it still shows the time remaining correctly (about 2 hours).
