Therefore I thought it would be OK to write it that way. Seemingly I was wrong in this point. Sorry. Furthermore I'm not sure if the duplicated bug report is going into the direction of KLaptop. Doesn't seem so. They are not discussing a steadily progress bar. But if I would join this discussion it could get very long. It's better for me to wait some months. Maybe in the meantime another developer writes an alternative plasmoid addressing my issue. I think that's more likely than fixing the default battery plasmoid. > > >>> Can you check that against other tree views in KDE and either confirm >>> that this is inconsistent with the rest of KDE, or that all of KDE >>> needs to be improved here.

Yes, I try to get rid of my personal dislike of KDE4 and I will be more careful when filing bugs in future. Regards, Stefan
