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.
