Bug Description

Compare to bug 891932.

While running tests for indicator-power, an error pops up for a missing accessible description:

(process:14724): libindicator-WARNING **: IndicatorObject class does not have an accessible description.

While running IndicatorTest.GObjectNew and IndicatorTest.NoDevices.

I think this should be investigated. Could just be a false positive, but we really should have accessible descriptions for everything if possible.

The poewr indicator does have an accessible description as of 14.04, however it is not updated according to the change in power state. The accessible description update signal needs to be emitted. Since the changes made in the indicator stack, I no longer know what the signal is called.

Luke, so the accessible description starts off in sync with the icon, but falls out of sync as the battery state updates over time?

Correct. An easier way to reproduce is to disconnect/connect a power supply. In either case, reviewing the indicator on the panel with Orca produces the same string of text. At the moment I am told that I have 3 hours and 55 minutes left on my battery, even though I am plugged in.

I'm running into this same problem. doing a pkill -f indicator-power-source will get it reporting the correct value again, but I'd rather not have to implement a workaround.
