Bug Description
The gnome-control-
1) Some people (like me) want their computer to suspend when it reaches a critical low-battery state
2) We offer 'Suspend' as an option for the lid closed action, so we should offer it as a critical battery option for consistency
(Note that neither hibernate nor power off is selected by default in the "When power is critically low" combobox on a fresh install. Instead the combobox has no selection at all. This is probably a separate bug)
To reproduce:
1) Launch the Power settings app
1a) Observe the "When power is critically low" combobox; nothing is selected
2) Click the "When power is critically low" combobox
Expected results:
Suspend is an option for critical-battery action
Actual results:
Suspend is not an option for critical-battery action

Thank you for your bug report, you probably don't want to suspend when the battery is almost empty since it will keep using power and drop off soon after that
