Michał, I disagree. The indicators are menus, and they should behave as such: activating a menu item closes the menu. Relying on indicators to send a message to close the menu sounds error prone and wasteful.
However, I agree with Matthew that there are some exceptions. Keeping the menu open to display the switch changing is just a special case of the above rule. For the other cases, we could have a flag on the menu item that signifies that the shell should keep the menu open after the item is activated. I imagine this is by far the minority, so it should be opt-in. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to Indicator Location. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1238182 Title: Should close indicators when triggered anotification or an application Status in Bluetooth Menu: Incomplete Status in The Date and Time Indicator: Incomplete Status in Indicator Location: Incomplete Status in The Messaging Menu: Incomplete Status in Network Menu: Incomplete Status in The Power Indicator: Incomplete Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Fix Committed Status in The Unity 8 shell: Confirmed Bug description: Indicators panel should close when a snap decision or application was triggered.
