GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 329386
Volume control can open over the panels
Last modified: 2014-08-03 15:06:03 UTC
Please describe the problem: If Totem is maximised, when the volume control button is clicked, the vertical slider that appears is partially off the bottom of the screen. This makes it impossible to lower the volume farther than a certian level. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Totem, Load Movie 2. Maximise Screen 3. Click Volume Button (Next to the Sidebar button) Actual results: n/a Expected results: The slider to be fully on screen Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
I tried to recreate this bug using Totem 1.2.0 and a variety of screen resolutions. My volume control did not disappear, however, it did cross onto the bottom panel. I imagine the bug is dependent on theme/local configuration. I could not find a duplicate bug, so this should be a New bug. I do not have the permissions yet so I cannot make the change myself. If you need a video to test the problem, there is one here: http://www.charleslindbergh.com/movies/lindbrg1.avi
I'm using Gorilla as my theme, I also have an autohide panel of size 24 pixels. Would a screenshot help?
feh. bottom panel.
In my opinion, a screenshot would be helpful. I changed to Gorilla theme, with an autohide panel of 24 pixels and my volume control is still fully visible, even with different screen resolutions. I'll take a look and see if I can tell how it differs from my screen.
See it too. totem 1.3.90

Totem is manually positioning the popup but without regards to the screen edges or docks ("panels") that exist. We should probably add API to gtk+ to make it easy for app authors to make these popups avoid getting placed offscreen. I'm marking as depending on bug 329491.
trunk is using GtkVolumeButton replacing the earlier bacon_volume. GtkVolumeButton is taking care of the screen edges and this bug is not reproducible anymore.
Takes care of screen edges, but not "panels". Moving to gtk+, as the widget lives there now.
This bug occurs when Totem is open in fullscreen mode too but not straight off. To replicate I clicked the icon (which initially appears fully on screen) and turned the volume down via mouse drag. Reclicking the volume icon creates it half offscreen and you cannot use the mouse to turn the volume back up. Running ubuntu 9.10 here.
Volume buttons use a popo er now
