Bug Description

The Ubuntu 9.04 toolbar volume control changed to left-right. How can someone turn the volume "UP" or "DOWN" if it's left and right?

thanks!

Agreed: an upstream design decision. I'm new here. Where is the upstream design decision reporting and tracking system for Ubuntu?

Who decided sideways was a good design decision?

I move the mouse up, click the icon, begin to move down and then have to change to a sideways movement. In addition to volume intuitively going up and down...
