Ubuntu Thunderbird not Minimising to Tray

Open ankitpati opened this issue 7 years ago • 22 comments

Thunderbird 52.1.1 Ubuntu 16.04

This just started after the latest update to Thunderbird which I installed from the repositories yesterday.

I had changed the add-on config to minimise to tray on close, instead of on minimise, but both of the settings are not working.

The F9 shortcut is also not working.

Only manually clicking File > Minimize to tray currently works.

I confirm, I also after the upgrade to Thunderbird 52.1.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 the add-on has ceased to work. It does not minimize to the tray, but closes the program.

Same problem here, Ubuntu 16.04, Thunderbird 52.1.1 My workaround is to install the Dorando Keyconfig addon and bind some shortcut (Shift+Q in my case) to the minimize to tray command https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/dorando-keyconfig/

Same on Ubuntu/XFCE

same problem on Thunderbird 52.1.1/Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit). Close/minimize do not minimize to tray, and close instead. F9 hotkey is not working. Clicking "File > Minimize to tray" works.

Seems to be a general Linux issue and I;ve had this for several versions of Thunderbird (currently 52.2.1) . I'm using Arch Linux 64bit / XFCE (4.12)

Last commit was Jun 2016 - maybe this project is abandoned?

Where is this 'File > Minimize to tray'?? I don't have such option :-/

Hey, guys. I moved to Geary and I'm happy. Tray support out-of-the-box. https://github.com/GNOME/geary

dvemnt avatar Sep 27 '17 10:09 dvemnt

@partyzant you need to keep this extension installed in order to see "Minimize to tray" option.

2alin avatar Sep 27 '17 16:09 2alin

For me it works otherwise fine, but when closing then Thunderbird quits instead of minimizing to tray.

Ubuntu MATE 16.04, Thunderbird 52.4.0 (64-bit)

PR #179 fixed it for me.

Brianetta avatar Oct 25 '17 10:10 Brianetta

With this #179 fixed, it works for me! Thank you :) I have an ubuntu 16.04 and thunderbird 52.4.0 64-bit

galstudio avatar Oct 25 '17 10:10 galstudio

Pull #179 Works with TB 52.4.0 on Debian 9.2
Note: downgrade path.py if you get the build error "Install path.py (via pip)" $ pip install -I path.py==7.7.1

Thanks!
