Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.28.3-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

when the power cable is plugged off, new pop-up warning is shown with wrong remaining minutes of battery life, which causes premature instant shut down of computer (when shutdown on critically low battery is configured) in some cases (the battery must be in the <25% region to trigger this erroneous shutdown).

When the power cable is plugged in and pointer is pointed on the battery icon in system tray the shown pop-up info is correct (battery 86%). - power_plugged_in.jpg
When the power cable is plugged off, red warning pop-up notification is shown with wrong remaining battery life data (Laptop battery critically low. Computer will shutdown in 3 minutes). - power_plugged_off.jpg 
When the power cable is plugged off and pointer is pointed on the battery icon in system tray the shown pop-up info is correct (battery 88% and 1,5 hours remaining). - power_plugged_off2.jpg

3 jpg pics should be attached

Regards

Matej
