[Bug]: Removing from system tray hides other Electron applications

Describe the bug I believe a default behaviour for Electron apps is to give the same kind of name or something for the system tray. I for the life of me cannot understand why it's set like this but it causes problems for so many applications of mine.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install another application like Mullvad VPN.
  2. Get either one to be hidden on the system tray.
  3. Voila! You have this rather frustrating behaviour. 😭

Expected behavior Either system tray icon to be hidden when selected.

Desktop:

  • Operating System: EndeavourOS
  • Installation source: yay -S prospect-mail-bin
  • KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4
  • Graphics Platform: Wayland
  • Version prospect-mail-bin 0.5.4-1 (Information from command yay -Q | grep prospect-mail)

Additional context Maybe a way to fix this could be to have a setting within Prospect Mail itself could be useful, that's what I've had to deal with to get other applications working.

Ideally it'd be nice for this default Electron behaviour to be fixed (not sure if this is what's happening but I am almost certain that this is a problem with specifically Electron).
