Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33) OS: Linux Add a "battery widget" to the panel. If you move the mouse cursor over the applet, it will show the current battery status correctly. Configure applet, checking "show the charge percentage on the battery". I expected that the hint shown while hovering the widget is permently shown over the battery. Actually nothing seems to be displayed. If you add a battery widget on the desktop and checking the same option, it works like expected.
Created attachment 23164 [details] Small patch fixing the problem mentioned in the report. I am a complete newbie to things like this, however this patch solves the problem. Orgin seems that vertical and horizontal panes are not allowed to display the charage percentage as text. However, I am not sure why the autor tries to avoid this - he might have his reasons! Maybe the whole formFactor-check should be removed, so the text is always displayed, if the size is big enough (currently 44 pixel)?
Cannot reproduce this, it looks like it's fixed by different formfactor handling. Removed the offending code anyway, don't think that makes sense.
Confirming. Revision 766875 seems to fix the problem. It is working now for me also. thanks.
