Description Tareque Md Hanif 2023-02-10 17:37:30 UTC
SUMMARY
Battery applet says, "plugged in but still discharging" when hovering over but my battery is not plugged in power.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hover the mouse cursor over the icon on system tray.

OBSERVED RESULT
Icon looks like battery is plugged in. On hover it says, "Battery at 81%, plugged in but still discharging", "The power supply is not powerful enough to charge the battery"

acpi --battery output:
Battery 0: Discharging, 81%, 04:51:40 remaining

EXPECTED RESULT
It should say that battery is discharging, but not "plugged in".
