Quickly and frequently adjusting the sound balance breaks the panel completely.
When you quickly adjust the balance of an audio sink in the sound panel, the widget will completely stop working after a while. I have no way to consistently trigger this behavior. It's not a real issue as a normal user would never encounter this, but it is still a bug, so I wanted to at least create this issue for it.
How to trigger it
- Open Settings
- Go to sound panel
- Grab your mouse firmly, take a deep breath, and start shaking the sound balance slider like you've never shaken a sound balance slider before. I haven't found how exactly it is triggered, so I don't know the optimal 'shake speed'
After doing this for a while, the balance stops adjusting completely, and there is no way to make it work again except for restarting the application.
Another interesting thing is that the sink seems to switch rapidly to another sink when passing the middle of the slider (sometimes). It's pretty hard to notice, as it happens for 1 frame or so, before jumping back to the correct one.
