Volume applet does not work as expected when volume set above 100%

So if sound is for example 130% then when you hover over the applet the volume immediately becomes 100%?

In trunk I cannot reproduce this. If sound is > 100%, volume scale is set to the right completely and shows a volume of > 100%. Then when scolling down, the volume lowers, and when it reaches <= 100% the volume scale bar starts moving to the left (as expected).

Can you try to reproduce this with lp:awn-extras trunk?

Perhaps you can also try to run avant-window-navigator in a terminal and check whether you see any tracebacks.

I believe there were. When I started awn from a terminal, then changed the volume above 100%, then interacted with the volume control applet, it gave this output.

  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/awn/extras/awnlib.py", line 1059, in callback_wrapper
    callback()
  File "/usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/volume-control/volume-control.py", line 264, in refresh_icon
    icon = [key for key, value in volume_ranges.iteritems() if volume <= value[0] and volume >= value[1]][0]
IndexError: list index out of range

But I noticed that when I started the applet with the volume already above 100%, it actually failed to start, giving this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

IndexError: list index out of range

Also, the applet works as expected lowering the volume by scrolling over it - it's when I scroll up that the volume actually decreases, all the way down to 100%, every time. I'm not really sure how I could try that branch of awn from debian, though when I still used ubuntu the behavior was present there. I hope you can see the bug now. Thanks.

Seems like a duplicate of bug 461123.
