Syncthingtray window is immediately closed
When clicking on the tray button of syncthingtray the window is opened and closed immediately. I also tried to add a rule with 'float': True
but this does not help.
Can you add a log when this happens?
I can't reproduce this as I'm not using syncthingtray and it appears to want some configuration to start up.
How did you configure the 'float': True rule? Can you paste the config? Does this only happen when starting this app fro, I presume, waybar? Or also when starting it from the terminal?
Sorry, I could have looked into the GitHub Issues of syncthingtray: https://github.com/Martchus/syncthingtray/issues/157
The problem is that if the window/popup loses focus (which is immediately true if focus_follows_mouse
is true) the window closes. It would be easy to make a workaround if it was possible to place (floating) windows relative to the cursor position.
Can you confirm, that this is actually the issue? I.e. does it work when you disable focus_follows_mouse
?
It kinda works then. I need to double click on the icon (when clicking just once the window is still immediately closed).
Interesting, maybe there's something else going wrong..
Double-clicking with focus_follows_mouse
doesn't work at all?
Double-clicking with focus_follows_mouse
is working, too.
In both cases however, this is a bit unreliable, sometimes I need triple-clicking. One can see that on the first click the window is opened and immediately closed, then on the second click it stays open (normally).
I hope you've seen the workaround mentioned in the README: https://github.com/Martchus/syncthingtray#workaround-positioning-issues-under-wayland
Note that implementing this to work correctly under Wayland is unlikely to happen anytime soon. I must say my experience with Wayland as developer and user is a rather sad story so far (see https://github.com/Martchus/syncthingtray/issues/157#issuecomment-1328359307 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-specs/-/merge_requests/54#note_1664168). If anybody has ideas for improvement you're welcome.
Thanks for the answer, @Martchus . Unfortunately I can't find the option to open in window mode in the appearance tab.

Settings -> Tray -> Appearance -> Window type -> Normal window

I don't have that option, see also the image:
Looks like you're not using the latest release yet.
I use version 1.3.0. Did you add this in 1.3.1?
Yes, I added it in 1.3.1. I've also recently fixed drawing the background to be drawn like on a normal window. That fix has not been released yet.
By the way, it also looks like themed icons are not configured correctly in your Qt installation as only fallback icons are shown.

Thanks. So for me the issue is gone with the window mode.
Good that this is sufficient for you because due to the mentioned limitations you won't get a "tray window" (a small window spawning close to the tray icon) anyways. I'd just like to end with that note so nobody thinks that the normal behavior is actually fixed on Wayland.
