Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: indicator-applet
It's hard to describe this in the title, but basically:
In 10.04 there are several gnome applets at the top right which provide
dropdown panels for extra information when you hover over them. For example, if
I click on the Volume icon I get a panel in which I can change the volume and
open the preferences dialog.
If I then, with this panel open, hover (without clicking again) over the
Email icon next to the Volume icon, that panel opens instead, showing me
a menu of mail-related things. However, when I then hover over the 'Me
Menu' icon with my name, or the 'Session' icon with the shutdown symbol,
these panels do not open. Despite the fact that the two sets of icons
are technically part of different applets, they should still have a way
of telling when the user is in 'hover mode', even on another applet, and
react accordingly when their icons are hovered over.
It's a small usability niggle, but one of those noticeable ones.
