[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#872687: xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin: Unable to click or use volume slider

[Ed Peguillan III]

Package: xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin
Version: 0.2.5-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
   I attempted to use the pulse panel plugin to change my computer's
   playback volume, but the popup frame with the volume slider simply
   disappears the moment I try to click and drag on the slider. This has
   never happened before today.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   Note that the mute checkbox still works, and the menu item that
   starts pavucontrol still works. Only the slider does not work
   properly.

   Pavucontrol seems to work properly.

   I cannot think of any new packages I may have installed that would
   cause this issue.

   I ran 'apt install --reinstall xfce4-panel-plugin', and restarted X,
   but the behaviour remained.

   After submitting this bug report, I will attempt downgrading
   xfce4-panel-plugin to 0.2.4-1 to see if anything changes.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   Attempting to click and drag the volume slider just results in the
   plugin frame disappearing immediately, without changing the volume.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   The volume slider should be clickable and draggable without the frame
   disappearing the moment the slider is clicked.
