The playback controls aren't the only menu controls that require mousedown as well as mouseup. Just above them is the volume slider, which behaves the same way. And next door, the calendar in the clock menu, which similarly requires mousedown.
For each of those, we could define that they should work on mouseup without mousedown, like menu items do. Would there be any drawbacks? -- 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/779782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
