Bug Description

Note that is a specialism of bug #10905 ("Can't use any global keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys when applet/menu is open") but based on seeing bug #722082 ("cannot change volume by scrolling on the icon when the SoundMenu is opened") I'm filing it as a special case.

  1. Like to open the sound indicator menu, to see the volume control.
  2. Press the hardware volume up and down keys.
  3. The volume does not change.

Ideally the hardware sound keys should work when viewing the sound-related indicator menu.

This is also true for other buttons such as sleep, brightness, lock screen, media, etc.
