Missing a screenshot, I will try to explain what I do:
1. I left-click the battery icon
2. A menu pops up. It has two entries: "Laptop battery (estimating...)" and
"Preferences"

An estimate never appears (but thats another problem). The fact is that it
can happen that there is a time when no estimate exists and in that period
the text "Laptop battery (estimating...)" will appear whereby the user is
subjected to, what I think, is a papercut. This bug is about the usability
of just writing "estimating..." which I think should rather be "estimating
battery life".
Does this bug not categorize as a papercut? Its small and it relates to
usability
