Hi,

An xubuntu user reported the following bug on our bugtracker:

Hovering over the battery icon while it is charging presents a status message. The wording is odd:

"8 minutes until is fully charged."

The sentence structure should be updated to include the word "it", as in "8 minutes until it is fully charged.", or "8 minutes until full charge."



I'm not a native English speaker, but this looks better to me. I checked master, and it seems this wording is still being used.

Thanks.

Patch to correct grammatical mistake in power manager.

This patch corrects a grammatical mistake, changing "until is fully charged" to "until fully charged" in the relevant files.
