It does get resolved on restarting the device, but still I think it should be resolved

Thanks for the bug report, and the screen recording, that's helpful.

I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master. The volume widget works normally.

I'd like to clarify something. In your steps to reproduce, you mention adding the Application Menu Bar. When I add the system tray to the Application Menu Bar panel, it's always on the left. How did you get yours positioned on the right? I want to make sure I'm using the same setup.

Thanks.

Apologies for late reply, to position it on the right you have to add spacers(In reply to TraceyC from comment #3)

For that just add a spacer and drag System Tray to the right, like in my Screen Capture I have two between Sticky Note(Leftmost) and Clock(Middle) and then between Clock and System Tray(Rightmost)
