There is a dialog box with this message:
"Laptop battery critically low
Computer will hibernate very soon unless it is plugged in.
CANCEL - OK"
Please see attached image.
The message says that the computer "will hibernate ... UNLESS it is plugged
in". So there is nothing that can be done to prevent hibernation (unless plug
in the computer) but I have two choices: CANCEL or OK. I wonder whats happends
if I press CANCEL. What I am cancelling if I press "Cancel"? Cancel option
should be given when you can cancel an ongoing process, but it seems here there
is nothing to cancel now.
There are two possible solutions to this:
1) Remove Cancel button in case it is useless.
2) If Cancel in fact cancel the hibernation, the message should be rephrased to
something like this "Computer will hibernate very soon unless it is plugged in
or canceled". It would also help to change the label from Cancel to "Cancel the
hibernation" (so it will be clear what you are cancelling to).
