screenshot of the problem

Click on the gnome-volume-control-applet icon, it opens a slider you can move with the mouse.

Put the mouse over the slider and press : you can move the slider. Let the button pressed and move the mouse outside the "brown rectangle" (see the screenshot) : the slider jump to about 15 pixels to the bottom. Let the button pressed and move the mouse inside the brown rectangle : the slider take its right position back.

It is a cosmetic bug, but I think it must be reported… and shouldn't be very hard to fix.

This is the way scrollbars and other scales behave in GTK+.
Comment 2 rom 2009-12-07 18:09:39 UTC
But why this constant shift when moving "outside the rectangle"?
You mean the bug is in GTK+?
Comment 3 Daniel Boles 2017-08-15 20:15:08 UTC
It's not a bug, it's the default value of a setting:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkSettings.html#GtkSettings--gtk-primary-button-warps-slider
Set that to TRUE if you want clicking in the trough to jump to the current position, rather than moving along by :page-size.
