bad popup example
SUMMARY
Live example (screenshots to follow):
If you have Firefox playing YT in background, and want to switch to it using
the panel icons, there's a popup which previews your window which pops up when
you'd hover mouse over Firefox icon. In normal circumstances, this popup is
placed above the panel. However, specifically for inactive windows which play
sound in background, it is placed on the bottom of your screen, which, given
bad enough timing, makes you click on the sound bar and change volume of your
program instead of switching to it. This is a bug which persists for years.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have Firefox play YT
2. alt tab to another window
3. Hover over firefox icon in your panel
4. Wait for ~0.5-1 seconds.
5. Click
OBSERVED RESULT
When you click, if timing is bad enough, you click on the sound volume widget.
Which lowers the volume (or mutes the application).
EXPECTED RESULT
The position of the sound volume widget should never be "right below your
mouse".
