Bug Description

A)When hovering over a torrent client icon, it usually pops up a notification box that informs the user about the upload/download rates (ex UP: 3kbs / DN: 2kbs).That doesn't happed with transmission in the indicator applet.

B) When left clicking the transmission icon, it would be more useful to open the transmission window, and now the drop down menu that it now does. This drop down menu should open when right clicking.

Those two things differs from every other torrent client and they are very confusing.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue. However, what you're reporting is not a bug, but in fact desired behaviour. We wanted to simplify the notification area by removing options that caused clutter and inconsistency.

Please take a look at <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators> for the design specification, which explains all this.
