Public bug reported:
I've tried to include some screenshots here, to illustrate my point.
Pointer displacement:
First I click on the network indicator in #1, then I end up in #2. In this
case, while I have clicked on the network indicator, what is now under my
pointer is the battery indicator.
Horizontal scrolling:
As you can see in #3, to see all the indicators I must scroll horizontally by
revving the trackpad left to right. This is a rather uncomfortable and
unfamiliar gesture.
Hidden indicators:
Finding, e.g. the bluetooth indicator, is rather fiddly when hidden behind the
horizontal scrolling region.
Menu size:
As you can see in #4, the indicator menu entries take up large amounts of
screen space, and also extend right to the bottom of the screen. Opinion: I
would definitely be in favor of the indicator menus only taking as much
vertical screen space as they require - like traditional drop-down menus. Or,
indeed, Gnome 3's indicators.
