[Bug 779782] Re: Mouse release does not activate playback control buttons
Reproduced in indicator-sound 12.10.2+14.04.20140401-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu
14.04.
** No longer affects: indicator-sound
** Changed in: indicator-sound (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Triaged
** Description changed:
indicator-sound 0.6.6.1-0ubuntu3, Ubuntu 11.04
- indicator-sound 12.10.2+13.10.20131011-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 13.10
+ 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."
