Moving to ido where the widget is implemented. The indicator itself
doesn't know anything about mouse button press state, menu position or
such, as it doesn't render the widgets. That's done on the unity side.

** Package changed: indicator-sound (Ubuntu) => ido (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Mouse release does not activate playback control buttons

Status in ido package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  indicator-sound 0.6.6.1-0ubuntu3, Ubuntu 11.04
  indicator-sound 12.10.2+14.04.20140401-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 14.04

  In maverick's sound menu, it was possible to activate the banshee or
  rhythmbox play/pause, back, and forward controls by pressing the mouse
  on the indicator applet sound icon, dragging to the chosen control
  with the mouse button held down, and releasing the mouse button. It
  looks like the sound menu spec at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu is
  ambiguous as to whether this should activate the controls, but all
  other menu items in the indicator applet can be activated in this way
  (as an example, the mute option in the sound menu). The fact that this
  no longer works for the playback control buttons seems like a bug.

  To be clear, click/release on the sound menu icon followed by
  click/release on the playback buttons works perfectly well. The
  inconsistency is in the playback buttons being more picky than other
  menu items, in that they can't be triggered by just a mouse release.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#playback-item>: "Conversely, clicking
  on a different menu item (or any menu title), moving to a button, and
  releasing, should activate that button."
