** Description changed:

- Steps to reproduce:
- 1.  Choose any of the themes shipped with Ubuntu, including the default.
- 2.  Mouse down on a slider or a scrollbar thumb.
+ 1. Switch to the Human theme if not already using it. (The problem also 
occurs with other themes, but I'm most concerned about the default theme.)
+ 2. Mouse down on a button (e.g. "Help" in Power Management Preferences).
+    - Observe that it goes darker to show that you're clicking it.
+ 3. Mouse down on a checkbox (e.g. "Use sound to notify" in Power Management 
Preferences).
+    - Observe that it goes darker to show that you're clicking it.
+ 4. Mouse down on a radio button (e.g. "Always display an icon" in Power 
Management Preferences).
+    - Observe that it goes darker to show that you're clicking it.
+ 5. Mouse down on a slider (e.g. "Set display brightness to:" in Power 
Management Preferences), or on a scrollbar thumb.
+    - Observe that ... nothing happens.
  
- What should happen:
- *   The control changes color to confirm that you're dragging it (as opposed 
to,
- say, having clicked on the pixel immediately above it by mistake).
+ There is no apparent reason for this inconsistency. I'm aware that other
+ OSes also make this mistake (for example Windows 95/98/2000 got it wrong
+ but Windows XP got it right, and Mac OS 8/9 got it right but Mac OS X
+ gets it wrong). But it's more important to be internally consistent than
+ consistent with other OSes. And it would be quite easy to fix: make the
+ thumb or slider a bit darker while it is being clicked.
  
- What actually happens:
- *   Nothing.
+ This bug has nothing to do with mouseover effects, just mousedown
+ feedback.
