When a drop-down panel is open, volume and lightness adjustment from keyboard won't work correctly. By "drop-down panel", I mean: the application menu, a right-click on the desktop, a left-click on a widget icon (wifi, bluetooth, volume), etc. I tried to describe precisely the problem by: - listing the actions affected by this bug - distinguishing standalone buttons from 'Fn' key combinations - indicating if the action is effective or ignore in such a case - indicating if a visual feedback is provided when the action is effective The following tables summarize all this information. The first table describes the normal situation with no bug (when no drop-down panel is open). The latter describes the buggy situation, bugs being marked with a star symbol (*). +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | USE CASE 1: NO DROP-DOWN PANEL IS OPEN | +-------------+----------------+------------+------------------+ | action type | action | effective? | visual feedback? | +-------------+----------------+------------+------------------+ | standalone | mute | yes | yes | | shortcut | volume up | yes | yes | | button | volume down | yes | yes | +-------------+----------------+------------+------------------+ | | mute | yes | yes | | keys | volume up | yes | yes | | triggered | volume down | yes | yes | | by | lightness-up | yes | yes | | 'Fn' key | lightness-down | yes | yes | | | display-off | yes | irrelevant | +-------------+----------------+------------+------------------+ +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | USE CASE 2: A DROP-DOWN PANEL IS OPEN | +-------------+----------------+------------+------------------+ | action type | action | effective? | visual feedback? | +-------------+----------------+------------+------------------+ | standalone | mute | no* | yes | | shortcut | volume up | no* | yes | | button | volume down | no* | yes | +-------------+----------------+------------+------------------+ | | mute | no* | no | | keys | volume up | no* | no | | triggered | volume down | no* | no | | by | lightness-up | yes | no* | | 'Fn' key | lightness-down | yes | no* | | | display-off | yes | irrelevant | +-------------+----------------+------------+------------------+ Attachments: - 'actions-on-keybord.png' shows precisely how actions are triggered on my laptop - 'action-feedbacks.png' shows what is meant by 'visual feedback'

It seems to be the same as this bug but on a newer version: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11892
I don't know how to correct my previous message in which the link is wrong so I add it here: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9726
