Power Icon Animation

[J. Howlett]

Hi,

I have a laptop and whenever I plug the ac adapter in, the power icon
animation will display on the power icon indicating that the battery is
charging, but after about 5 times it'll stop and freeze. I'm wondering if
anyone knows what's going on or a possible solution? It would be helpful for
me to know when the battery is full charged without having to hover the mouse
cursor over the icon every x minutes. Thanks.

That's entirely normal - the icon animates a few times and then the
animation stops. The battery continues to charge, if you hover over the
icon the current state will be reported correctly.
