Scrolling the mousewheel over the sound-indicator should adjust the volume, even if the sound-menu is open

[TH]

System: Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit

When you scroll your mousewheel over the sound-indicator, the volume adjusts itself accordingly.
But if the sound-menu is open, for example if you are checking which song is currently playing, you can't adjust the volume by scrolling over the sound-indicator anymore.

Instead you have to scroll over the volume bar, which uses a different interval for changing the volume.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Click on the indicator-sound-icon to open the sound-menu
2) Scroll your mousewheel over the icon to adjust the volume

Actual result:
- Nothing happens

Expected result:
- The volume should adjust itself, exactly the way it does when the sound-menu is closed

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this. We have just discussed this at UDS so hopefully we will resolve it in the coming cycle.

The work needs to be done in the parent libindicator before I will receive the events below while the menu is open. Reassigning to libindicator.

I don't think anything is needed in libindicator, but unity-panel-service to send the appropriate events. I think that we can use the same scrolling signal handler. Reassigning there, assign back if needed.
