Description Damglador 2024-10-11 18:32:04 UTC

SUMMARY
So in Plasma 6.1.5 I think everything was nice and cool, if my laptop is fully charged and charger is plugged in - battery tray icon just hides since its no longer needed. After updating to Plasma 6.2 I noticed that the battery is full, set to "Show if needed", charger is plugged, but it just stays there, forever. Changing it to "Always hide" or "Disabled", "Always show" and back to "Show if needed" doesn't do anything.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get a laptop or something with a battery and KDE Plasma
2. In tray options set battery icon to "Show if needed"
3. Fully charge the device

OBSERVED RESULT
Tray icon doesn't hide as it did in Plasma before 6.2

EXPECTED RESULT
Battery tray icon should hide

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 6.11.3-arch1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.0
KDE Frameworks Version: idk how to get
Qt Version: 6.7.3-1

When it's inappropriately in a visible state and you hover the pointer over it, what's the text in the tooltip say?

It's now have been fixed. Battery tray icon hides as it should

Comment 5 Damglador 2024-12-16 19:46:19 UTC

Never mind, not quite fixed. 
1. It says 99% charged, but the indicator is already white like it's fully charged.
2. It hides for a moment when I unplug, and for a little bit longer when I plug back, but then it comes back
3. I noticed that it shows "Time to full charge: 0:05", I waited for 5 minutes... then for another minute... then for another minute.... and after probably another 5 minutes it did hide.

So technically the issues are:
1. Even when a battery is not fully charged, tray icons turns white on 99% or so
2. "Time to full charge:" doesn't display seconds or any indication that it isn't just stuck, it can be at "0:00" for several minutes

Comment 6 Damglador 2024-12-16 19:48:54 UTC

Note: normally, if battery charges, the tray icon is green. If it's fully charged and plugged - white with lightning. If it's draining - white or red on low percentage. So I expect it to be green on 99%

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2024-12-17 15:54:54 UTC

So at this point it looks like it's not an issue with the widget code, but rather the underlying data model on your system is providing weird data, which the widget then faithfully presents.
