mouse scroll down over sound indicator while expo is active selects previous desktop

[Thomi Richards]

[Impact]

Scrolling on indicators doesn't work when expo is active

[Test case]

To reproduce:

1) Activate the workspace switcher (super + S).
2) Place your mouse cursor over the sound indicator.

Scrolliong the mouse wheel *up* will change the current system volume only. Scrolling the mouse wheel *down* changes both the system volume *and* selects the previous desktop in the switcher. Surely the behavior should be consistent between scrolling up and down?

[Regression potential]

Changing workspace with mouse wheel or double-clicks might not work anymore.
