Title:
Mouse release does not activate playback control buttons
Status in The Sound Menu:
Triaged
Status in indicator-sound package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
indicator-sound 0.6.6.1-0ubuntu3, Ubuntu 11.04
indicator-sound 12.10.2+13.10.20131011-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 13.10
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."
