ups, youre right. Its a menu, not a tooltip. But the problem is still the
same. It says "(estimating...)" when it could have said "(estimating battery
life...)"
Would you not say that the latter would be better?

Well, not as long as it hasn't comed up with an estimate. It takes several
minutes to estimate. I agree that the text is fine, once the estimate has
arrived.

It does not need to estimate anymore

I dont follow you here - its very central to estimate battery life. Why do
you say it doesn't need to estimate?

I didn't follow your argument there :)
