Media Buttons should trigger action only on button release

I've also noticed the strange behaviour. The buttons react to mousedown, not mouserelease as all the other items. Also, if you try to drag the buttons they will stay looking as they were being pushed.

Thank you for your bug report, what version of Ubuntu do you use?

Hi everybody,

FYI: my Current Ubuntu Version is 10.10, last updated 31.08.2010 approx. 2 p.m. and this Bug does affect me too.

I would suggest to rename this bug to something more specific like "Sound Indicator Buttons should fire on MouseUp" since "behaves strangely" could mean pretty much anything.

I second the opinion that the Buttons should fire on MouseUp as i think most people would expect a behavior like this:

-Open the Sound Indicator
-Click and Hold the Button
->leading to
a) release the Mouse Button and call the Button Action
OR
b)release the Mouse Button outside the Clickable Area and therefore dismiss the Action

@cldx Thanks!

the description is unclear, what happens and should not?

This bug was fixed in the package indicator-sound - 0.4.2-0ubuntu1

I think this issue seems not fully fixed.

"After a button press, Even if the button is released outside the button boundary Action wont occur."

When I press it and release the button outside, it keeps pressed.

On menu close the button state will be reset with the new branch. Ideally I would like to have the effect whereby after button press if the cursor leaves the specified boundary then the button should release properly without any action.
