I don't consider this a bug but more like a bug fix. Play controls or menuitems should not be activated if the proceeding press event occurred in an area outside of the control's space. The Maverick version was buggy in its handling of key events.
Thanks for reporting this but I feel its a non-starter. ** Changed in: indicator-sound (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779782 Title: Mouse release does not activate playback control buttons -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
