Description matthias sweertvaegher 2008-12-19 00:08:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

this bug is perfectly reproducable.

First, I added the battery monitor widget to my desktop. I have a laptop with 2 batteries, so it shows me 2 batteries like expected. Next, I unplug one battery. The battery monitor shows me only 1 battery at appropriate size. When I plug the battery back in, it again will show the batteries at appropriate size. So what's the problem?

Here is the trick:
- click the wrench to open battery monitor settings
- enable "show the percentage of charge on the battery"

suddenly the batteries start losing weight (=become thinner) when you unplug and plug them back in!
Even when disabling "show the percentage of charge on the battery", the effect remains.

SVN commit 920485 by sebas:

Don't reconnect after config changes

There's no reason to do that because dataEngine connections are not
influenced by any config option.
