On mouse hover, the battery icon should transform into a charge percentage for 5 seconds and then turn back.”

I regularly use my laptop from battery and sometimes I need to check, how much time remains to work. The status indicator icon is not enough to know it. First, I thought that I have misconfigured something to disappear tooltips, but reading the net I see it is “normal” behavior in Lucid. I hope this “feature” will be repaired to work this icon as earlier did.

and I had my vision of applet for displaying battery status,
so I’ve started small project, and now I would like to make announce
for first version of public release here. See pages:
http://live.gnome.org/BatteryStatus
http://launchpad.net/battery-status
for more details. Any [constructive] feedback are welcome.
I hope, that this applet will solve problem of showing power state information in a convenient way.
I also can’t wait fixing this bug – https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/indicator-application/+bug/541858
so I could add label with battery charge/time information for indicator as I did it for applet.

This is particularly accentuated by the fact that nearly every other icon in that area has informative tooltips integrated, eg. sound, network, date. Further, nearly every app that has an icon in that area boasts of meaningful tooltips.

Now in Lucid I have to clic on the sound control icon, then move the mouse on the slidebar and then I can use the scroll button. Usability regression :(

I don’t believe that it is easier to make two mouse clicks than to pause the mouse for a second for a tooltip.

This only effects appindicators. And my understanding is that this is the intent of the design.
