Bug ID: 514851
Summary: c0de4254e218e5725c61298dae8ed3e6ab668f88 in powerdevil
suppresses badge at "100% but discharging" condition,
contradicting UI text
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.80
Reported In:
Platform: KDE Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: usability
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Power and Battery widget
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Charge to 100%
2. Turn on "Show battery percentage on icon when not fully charged" option
3. Unplug power cord
OBSERVED RESULT
Battery starts discharging so the applet appears in the active area of the
system tray, but the percentage badge is suppressed. It appears at a later time
when the percentage is below 100%.
EXPECTED RESULT
Percentage badge appears immediately because the battery started discharging
when the power cord was removed, hence by definition it's not fully charged
anymore.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION?
Why is this actually a problem rather than just a quirk worth getting used to?
1. The UI text of the option is contradicted by reality
2. It feels weird for the the applet to appear in the visible area of the
system tray with no badge, and then the badger appears later
