(I never had a windows preinstalled on the machine and I would rather close
this defect as worksforme than installing one now.)
Yes, the 'Power Consumption' field is in sync with
"/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state/present rate:"
Changing display brightness, swithcing on/off wlan+bluetooth has no effect on
the reading while charging. It gives/takes between 1 and 2 Watts while
discharging.
I have the same effect with both batteries when they are nearly full.
My eralier test was invalid, because only one of them was nearly full.
Please make it clear what the power consumption field is indicating.
If I understand you correctly, it either indicates the machines consumption
or the battery's consumption. But never the total consumption through the AC
cable.
Simply saying 'Power Consumption', made me believe it is the total.
I'd suggest to change it to 'Battery Power Consumption' and
make a reference to this bugzilla in the po file.
Please also remove one or two decimal places.
