There is a new indicators design that improves and fixes many of the usability issues in the current design.

New design fixes following issues:
1. Too small target size for reliably making selection -> false positives
2. Current design doesn’t support overflow. Or inactive items so that their menu could be accessed.
3. Movement overload when item changes while going down.
4. Tabs. Deprecated component and poor navigation.
5. Invisible locking line in mid point of the screen.

Specification can be found here: https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1jHIGzAzf7kFELgOiU9J0Hd9mOa3NzTsnEglLmx_qEfk/edit

There is also a prototype of the new design:
