[Bug 1400147] [NEW] speaker volume controls work in unexpected ways

 

Public bug reported:

This is on a Dell XPS 13 running Ubuntu 14.10. When playing an mp4 video
under Videos 3.10.1, the speaker volume seems to respond normally to the
keyboard controls i.e. Fn-F11=volume down; Fn-F12=volume up; next key on
right=speaker mute. The flash at the top right of the screen indicates
the selected speaker volume status.

I would expect the keyboard volume controls to work as they normally do
either in parallel with the application controls (either control being
capable of adjusting the volume independently) or in series with the
application controls (either control capable of adjusting the volume but
the resultant volume being as though each volume control was in series
such that maximum volume would need both set to maximum).

When using the speaker symbol at the bottom right of the Videos window,
the flash initially indicates full volume. The slider allows to speaker
volume to be adjusted up and down. However, after using the slider, the
keyboard controls above (F11, F12 and mute) no longer seem able to
control the speaker volume, even though the volume flash seems to
indicate a response to the controls. The action of the keyboard controls
are rendered non-functional by the use of the application's controls.

There is another minor bug associated with the speaker symbol. When
using full screen selected via the control on the left-hand side of the
lower control strip, the vertical volume control slide selected by
clicking the speaker symbol on the right is hidden by the video window.
It does not appear on top of this window and therefore cannot be used to
effectively adjust the speaker volume without deselecting full screen.
