Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

Just upgrade to latest lucid here and the battery icon now moved from systray (notification area) to the indicator applet. The problem is that when I click the applet, the popup menu opens with no entries, just a small empty widget. The problems happens in my netbook Aspire One D250-1080. I have a Lenovo x200s that does not have the problem. Both with the same package version.

Yes, I noticed on update today that bug effects me too.
All was well with small improvements in power/battery indicator happening over the past week, then bang, now just empty space and not able to view battery charge value or select power management from this applet.

Hover over applet and no info either.

Dell D420 with all updates.

@ Jan,
what is the patch?

The menu was not set visible which was, after a bug was fixed in application-indicator, forwarded correctly to the menu in the applet.

The patch makes the menu visible now.
