          Assignee: frivoal at xfce.org
           Summary: Monitor shows "50%%" if "Display percentage" is on and
                    battery's absent
        QA Contact: goodies-dev at xfce.org
          Severity: major
    Classification: Panel Plugins
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: jasonspiro4 at gmail.com
          Hardware: PC (x86)
            Status: NEW
           Version: 0.5.1 or older
         Component: General
           Product: Xfce4-battery-plugin

Sometimes laptop users remove their battery while on AC power.  For example,
they might do this to avoid wearing out the battery.  Or to eliminate the risk
of a plugged-in-battery fire while the laptop's unattended.

Steps to reproduce:
-  xfce4-battery-plugin starts up
-  there's no battery present
-  and the "Display Percentage" option is on

Symptom:
-  the battery monitor shows the strange text "50%%" in the percentage area.

This could make some people think their battery is plugged in when it actually
isn't.  If they then disconnect their AC power, they might lose unsaved work.

Suggested fix:
-  Instead of "50%%", please show the number "0" (without a percentage sign) to
show there's no battery.  This will never fool anyone into thinking they have
battery power available.  Or, if you insist, you can use the word "none"
instead of "0".
