HUD: icon wrongly refreshed on menu updates

[palimmo]

Interference HUD and indicator-weather.
As you can see in the image: I was using HUD with Nautilus, but Indicator-weather added its icon and false command.

thank you for your bug report, there is no "false command" there, the first line seems to be an indicator-weather entry, the hud does matching through the focussed applications and indicators, what is wrong though is that the icon should adapt to the selected line

is that unity-3d or 2d?

[palimmo (palimmo)]

deeply sorry. I meant indicator-weather.
I have corrected it.

Unity is 3D.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I can confirm that, when the menus change (which happen often when using indicator-multiload) the icon is resetted to the first entry one rather than being "frozen" like the selection (the selection had a similar issue which got fixed in unity 5.10)

[palimmo (palimmo)]

The "interference" (icon and commands) is with Indicator multiload, weather-indicator, gm-notify, Skype, VLC or GoldenDict. Probably every app present in the notification area.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

@palimmo: what do you call "interference"? the fact that it lists indicators is a feature, it allows easy control of your im status, music player, reply to message, email, lock screen, etc from the keyboard

[palimmo (palimmo)]

well... I can see some commands that have no reason
ex "Sunset: 08.33 PM" . If I give Enter, nothing occurs.

The worst thing, I think, is that the icon isn't always the correct one related to the command selected.
As you can see in the screenshot above.

thanks!

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

right, the icon is a bug and what this ticket is about

the "sunset:..." is a bug in indicator-weather, the hud just list active menu items, the indicator shouldn't declare that menu as active if it's not

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

Indicators can no longer be accessed through the HUD. Closing.
