Bug Description
On Precise x64 using Gnome Classic with the indicators in the bottom-right panel (a la Windows), any indicator that changes the height of its popup menu doesn't resize correctly. To reproduce:
-Open the sound menu with all media players closed.
-Open a media player (Banshee) and start a track.
-Open the sound menu again. It will remain in its original small size, despite having album art, playback controls, etc. now visible. Using the playback controls requires scrolling the tiny indicator menu and losing sight of the volume, mute, etc. options.
See the attached screenshot for an example.
This also happens on apps like Dropbox (more than once the menu somehow resized to be *smaller* than the scrollbars, making it impossible to see!), Network Manager (when new wifi networks come in to range), etc.
In Natty (I think) this used to happen occasionally, but hovering over the indicator's scrollbars would force the menu to resize to the right height. This no longer happens in Precise and the indicators stay the wrong size.
This is kind of a bummer because I'd rather use Gnome Classic than Unity or Gnome Shell, and these menus often become unusable. With this being an LTS release I don't want to be stuck with unusuable indicators for 5 years!
