Bug Description
Binary package hint: indicator-sound
In LP#725160 and LP#725167 I reported inconsistent wheel direction issues for particular sliders, but now I realized there is a wider issue and thought a separate report is in order. I see the following behavior on up-to-date Natty:
Indicator and indicator menu:
Forward (away from me): increase volume
Backward (toward me): decrease volume
K3b (only KDE app I have installed) is the same. I tried menu Settings -> Configure K3b -> Plugins -> K3b Ogg Vorbis encoder -> Quality level
However other sliders use "Forward (away from me)" to DEcrease, and "Backward (toward me)" to INcrease whatever value:
gnome-power-
gnome-screensaver: time to idle
tracker-
gnome-window-
Gimp: all filter sliders I tried
And so forth
It seems that sound indicator is the odd one out, which is why I filed it here. However, to me the sound indicator behavior seems more intuitive and so I guess the bug may be elsewhere. K3b behaving the same as sound indicator may be a sign for that.
In case it matters, I use a Logitech Cordless TrackMan on an Apple MacBook Pro 5.34 the trackpad scrolling of which works exactly as the wheel.

Yes, the same issue still exists in Precise Beta 2. In addition, the sliders in System Settings -> Sound do not react to the mouse wheel at all anymore (but the slider in the Sound Indicator still behaves as described in my initial comment)

This is a question for Ayatana Design and is not an ido / indicator-sound bug -- they are behaving as per the specification. <https:/
And, as the original description says, it would be counter-intuitive to have the volume levels work the other way around.

Sorry, can I edit the subject line? There's a typo, "insonsistent" -> "inConsistent"
