Binary package hint: indicator-sound

I'm using a laptop with a touchpad that supports horizontal scrolling (and yes, I enabled it).
In Unity (in the `Ubuntu Classic` session this doesn't happen) when I move the cursor over the sound indicator and try to scroll up/down to turn up/down the volume, the sound indicator (or any other indicator, but it only makes sense to scroll on the sound one) often popups like it was clicked. I guess what is registering is the horizontal scroll action, that sometimes accidentally triggers while scrolling vertically. Anyway, there is no reason why someone would expect the menu to open when scrolling horizontally, so I consider this a bug.
This is especially frustrating because once opened, I have to move the cursor or click the indicator again to change the volume since scrolling on the indicator when the menu is opened does nothing.
I'm not sure I should file this against the sound-menu indicator, since it works fine under the classic shell.
