The sound volume applet's slider tends to go down after push it up

[Julien Olivier]

In breezy, when I try to push the volume up using the sound volume applet's
slider, it keeps pulling down by itself. To be more precise, it seems that for
each step up, it does one step down on its own... You can easily see it by
trying to push the volume up using the mouse scroll button: you'll notice that
it is very difficult to reach the top of the slider because it keeps goind down
each time you move it up.

If you don't understand what I mean, maybe I can create a video using Istanbul
video recorder ?

I've been having this problem, too.

If, instead of using the mouse wheel, you simply click the + button on top and
hold down the button, you'll see that the slider does not move up, it's just
stuck there.

Scrolling the mouse wheel upward slowly one step at a time also causes the same
behavior.

Turning the volume down by any method seems to work perfectly.

Thanks for your bug. No need of a video about this, the description is clear and
I've the issue on a box. I've forwarded that upstream:
