Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-sound

Instead of highlighting whenever the mouse is over the slider, it highlights when the mouse is on the top ~half of the slider, or within about half the slider's height above it. See attached video for example.

This bug has a nasty side-effect. When the mouse is over the slider and slider is not highlighted (because of this bug), if the user does a mouse-down, then the slider moves right (increasing volume) and continues to do so until the mouse is released.

I am often trying to reduce the volume by grabbing the slider with the mouse, only to find that the slider "runs away" from me, to the right. (This is with lucid's current version of indicator-sound.)
