I am still experiencing this with Natty (a fresh install, but the same amd64 machine) running lxpanel 0.5.6-1ubuntu4. A modification to workaround 1 appears to be highly effective at handling the problem when it occurs: Double-click on the volume icon, click the [lxpanel] entry in the window list to bring up the volume control, then rather than dismissing the volume control, switch workspaces. After switching back to the original workspace, the [lxpanel] entry and volume slider have been dismissed, but the problem is solved--a single-click on the volume control icon raises the volume slider (and it remains functional indefinitely, until the problem occurs again).
Something else interesting: In both instances when the problem occurred spontaneously on this Natty amd64 system, I found that the calendar was raised in the second workspace (the one I switched to). I'm not sure if that's related, but I don't remember intentionally having raised it either time, and whether or not the calendar is raised is not a function of which workspace one is in (so perhaps this is due to another, more minor bug). When I have deliberately produced this problem by double- clicking on the volume icon, and then fixed it by switching to the second workspace, the calendar was not raised. ** Tags added: natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692546 Title: lxpanel Volume Control applet fails to raise volume slider when clicked -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
