[Bug 1539974] [NEW] Clicking in the area just below the main sound output control slider in the gnome-control-center will make it make a test sound with the current sound level though will not change it

 

Public bug reported:

I have recently noticed that in the gnome-control-center if one is to
click anywhere in this area (the area with the black box around it):
Sound.png

It will emit a test sound with the current level of the sound (so it
emits it at the same sound level you have set, but not the level you are
clicking just below of), though it will not change the sound level of
the slider position. Of course doing this on the actual slider makes it
adjust to the level of sound you are clicking on on the scale and emit
its test sound from its new volume, and the same when click above (not
on) the slider, though below, as I said before, seems not to change
where the slider is located, not the current volume level, all it does
is emits the test sound.

In my opinion though it should only be doing any of this when one drags
or clicks on the actual slider, not above, nor below, even if above is
behaving more correctly than below.
