volume control applet's inverted mouse wheel direction

a bug like that was fixed in bug 314966, could you try with latest package? thanks.

The bug still exists.
This probably will need the same fix of bug #314966 that you referred to.
But this one isn't in gnome-volume-control , it affects the applet itself, the single channel controlled when you single click the applet.

Confirmed, it works that way if you click on the applet to see the horizontal volume and then use the scroll, thanks for the report.

I can confirm this bug in 9.04 beta with all installed updates.

I still have this problem, on 9.04 and I just pulled an apt-get upgrade.

As was the original problem:
Mouse over the applet icon:
Wheel Up -> Increase Volume
Wheel Down -> Decrease Volume

click the applet, and mouse over the horizontal scrollbar:
Wheel Up -> Decrease Volume
Wheel Down -> Increase Volume

In addition, when scrolling horizontally:
Mouse over the applet icon:
Scroll Left -> Increase Volume
Scroll Right -> Decrease Volume
{I would call this backwards, and say that it needs to be changed}

click the applet, and mouse over the horizontal scrollbar:
Scroll Left -> Decrease Volume
Scroll Right -> Increase Volume
{I would say that this is correct, and that it should be kept as is}

Arrow key up and Arrow key Down are also reversed when using the horizontal slider.

This is now resolved upstream

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-applets - 2.27.2-0ubuntu1
