RTS Story Progress Bar not representative of actual progress

The length of the Story Progress Bar is not representative of the actual progress. The attachment shows an example. The actual progress is 95% but the bar is only about half way along, i.e. 50%. Although the information in the pop up is correct, the length of the bar is misleading.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    The progress bar includes both the child execution items as well as child plan items progress. It gives each virtually 50% of the progress bar.

    For example: if you have a Story with 20 pts with 4 child tasks having a total of 64 hrs estimated and a child story with 13 pts. All the child tasks are resolved and the child story does not have any child tasks/stories. The progress shows as:

    0/33pts | 64/64hrs and the bar is 50% filled which is the average of the Hours Done (64 of 64 - 100%) and Story Points Done (0 of 33 - 0%)

    Now when we resolve the child story, the progress shows as:

    13/33pts | 64/64hrs and the bar is 69.5% filled which is the average of the Hours Done (64 of 64 - 100%) and Story Points Done (13 of 33 - 39%)

    If the story does not have any child story. The progress is then only half filled when all tasks are completed but the story is still open. The work item Story progress "items completed" should not include itself (193444) tracks that issue.
