Battery indicator shows an almost empty battery when charging though the battery is almost full

[Teo]

Right now, if I disconnect the charger from the laptop, the battery indicator shows an almost-empty battery with an electricity symbol - whose meaning can only be that the battery is almost empty and is being charged.

If I disconnect the charger, then the icon shows a completely full battery (without the electricity symbol). Which can only mean that the battery is practically full.

So the information displayed is contraddictory. The former is wrong, and the latter is right. The battery is actually almost full.

If I click on the icon when charging (connected), it says "0:13 to charge".
If I click on it when disconnected, it says "3:45 left". These are consistent with each other, and with the fact that the battery actually _is_ almost full.

The battery is almost new and it takes pretty long to discharge, so it can't be almost full and almost empty at the same time, nor is the measured value unreliable. The fact that the textual information is correct confirms this. It's a bug in the way the information is displayed graphically.

Actually, while I was writing, the charging completed, the battery is now full. If I click on the icon, it says "Battery (100%)". However, the icon still shows the almost empty battery.
