Package: mate-applets-common
Version: 1.24.1-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email-masked]

battstat-applet installed by default with Mate, on upgraded system.
A couple of times per week, battstat-applet start consuming 100%
of CPU, increasing system load highly.

No obvious connection to, for example, external power changes, and
not directly after interacting with the app.

Thanks for this.

src:mate-applets is not a forked package in Devuan and we use Debian's packages
directly without recompilation. Unless you can demonstrate that this is a
Devuan-specific issue, please report directly to Debian's BTS to be addressed. I
don't see a similar bug reported there already[1].

Thanks.

Mark
