Description William Jon McCann 2011-03-30 23:07:51 UTC 
When I unplug my power cord I see the battery icon:

(each of these cause the status icons to all shift around)
 * disappear
 * reappear unchanged
 * disappear 
 * reappear unchanged
 * disappear 
 * reappear unchanged (very briefly)
 * disappear 
 * reappear with the not plugged in icon

:(

I cannot reproduce this on my system: removing battery instantly turns the icon green (battery-full) and pops out a notification. Plugging again turns the icon white with a lightning (battery-full-charging), with no movement of the other icons.
Do you see anything in .xsession-errors, either JS related or from PowerManager?
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2011-04-04 11:08:09 UTC 
Not happening here either
Comment 3 Stéphane Démurget 2012-11-20 00:07:23 UTC 
No problem here ... though I remember seeing that behavior a very looooong time ago.

Jon, do you still have the issue? Otherwise this could be closed.
Comment 4 William Jon McCann 2012-11-20 17:02:16 UTC 
Not seeing this now.

Now it just moves over a few pixels to make room for the charging bolt.
Comment 5 Stéphane Démurget 2012-11-22 21:22:28 UTC 
Then, the issue is closed at the shell level. I've opened bug 688898 with a patch for fixing the horizontal alignment differences of the symbolic icons.
