Version: 2.2.1 (using KDE 4.3.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages With the slim toolbar selected, clicking the volume button drops-down the volume slider as expected. However, clicking on the slider immediately closes it, regardless of whether I click on the handle or somewhere on the slider. After clicking on the button a second time, the slider remains for me to change the volume until I click away, when it hides - as expected. This only occurs on the first attempt to change the volume on the slim toolbar. Switching from slim to main to slim activates this bug, and restarting Amarok with the slim toolbar selected also activates this bug. Again, regardless of which of these I do, it only occurs on the first click - dropping down the slider again makes it behave as expected.
I've come to discover that, actually, what seems to be closing the volume controls is the appearance of the OSD: if the OSD is not shown when trying to change the controls, they close instantly. Clicking on them again when the OSD is shown lets you edit them as you expect.

Setting to confirmed.
Actually this bug causes all menus to be closed when the OSD is displayed. Something that annoys a long time now, maybe even since 2.0.
I could reproduce this issue, although the symptoms were slightly different here: Clicking the slider made it move to 0%, or 100% (sometimes one, sometimes the other) very quickly. Going to investigate.
I've just fixed this: commit abcbe45b1dc743f8eb59459110016d3f7b6f6454 Author: Mark Kretschmann <kretschmann@kde.org> Date: Wed Nov 25 11:01:13 2009 +0100 Fix recursion issue in Slim Toolbar's volume slider. What happened was that right after startup, when you changed the volume, the slider would go into a recursive loop and move to 100% (or 0%) quickly. Now the slider is using the Amarok::VolumeSlider class, which I have refactored and extended for this purpose. BUG: 215185
commit c306a091a25479f711f4597b075c9cad7185ab19 Author: Nikolaj Hald Nielsen <nhnFreespirit@gmail.com> Date: Thu Nov 26 11:58:03 2009 +0100 Fix OSD stealing focus, resulting in any visible menus (or the volume slider in the slim toolbar) getting closed. CCBUG: 215185 I think this closes the last part of this bug!
Can confirm this as fixed.
