Description Viorel-Cătălin Răpițeanu 2022-01-19 21:43:18 UTC
SUMMARY
***
When you have a wireless mouse connected, but no other method of changing the monitor brightness, the 'low battery' icon is shown for the Power Management applet.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect a wireless mouse to a desktop PC.

OBSERVED RESULT
The Power Management applet correctly identifies the wireless mouse, but the icon displayed for this applet is the 'low battery' one. The current battery charge is not taken into any consideration.
