Bug Description

Ubuntu 11.04

I've white listed evolution-alarm-notify in com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist settings. I noticed that mouse clicks don't seem to register properly on the indicators (newer icons/right side of menu area) when a notification icon (left side/older tech?) is displayed.

In the attached screenshot, left-clicking on the pushpin (tomboy) icon doesn't bring up a menu while the evolution alarm display icon is present. However, clicking further to the right brings up menus, and I can then slide my mouse to left and bring up the menus for tomboy.

It seems the notification area is somehow overlapping the indicator area. When the alarm icon is dismissed, the indicator area seems to work properly. I ran xev and saw no messages while left clicking on the problematic indicator area.
