Issue on Plasma 6.5.5

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a bluetooth device with a long name.
2. Look for the devices battery percentage.

OBSERVED RESULT
Devices with long names can hide battery percentage because it uses a single line for everything.

EXPECTED RESULT
The battery percentage should be in a separate line.

I do not have bluetooth device to test this with, but maybe we should have battery icon or the battery text should be the first one.

If you fail the connection successfully connecting to a device ( Bug 515189 ), what I said that could happen; happens.
