cannot change volume by scrolling on the icon when the SoundMenu is opened

I actually can't do much about this. The scroll-event sent by libindicator is not received while the menu is open.
Marking as invalid for this project as this bug is already on Unity's radar where it belongs.

I was going to report that keyboard volume up/down keys don't work when the menu is open before finding this report. Looks like the same underlying cause.

Affects Oneiric

This should include the volume keys I guess.?.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 5.0.0-0ubuntu1
