Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

I've recently upgraded my ubuntu to 9.04. I see that totem's volume slider acts in a strange way, as you can see in the attached video.

As you can see in first part of the movie (first 8 seconds), when you drag the slider and move out your cursor out of slider's area, it rapidly changes position. It's easy to move out of the area because it's quite small, and requested behavior should be more intelligent.

As you can see in second part of the movie (after 8 second), when you have totem's window near bottom edge of the screen, slider appears in a position that immediately puts your cursor in the center of the scale. So even if you had got volume set to full, it sets value defined by slider position, thats quite unexpectable for the user.

Can't you make just normal slider, as position one? A tons of programs put just slider, without any buttons that user need to click to change volume and that works perfectly.
