Bug Description

Hello
Listening a youtube video, I've clicked on the loudspeaker icon on notify area, the menu regularry open, click to move the volume control slide and this works, but when I release the mouse button the volume controll slide still following the mouvement of the mouse, then it stops, but nothing on the screen was responding at the mouse for some seconds, then the system restore itself and the popup of the crash appear.
Now the louspeaker icon don't respond at the click.
I've clicked the mail icon and it works, tried again the loudspeaker icon and now it works...
As far as I can remember, this is not the first time that I see this bug on this machine, but rarely and randomly.
Wow, exacly now I can reproduce again the bug, with apport popup, trying to move the volume slider!!!
