pop-os
[Status Area] Some icons don't display. Some menus don't display.
Examples:
Working examples: Spotify: Icon and menu display Mattermost: Icon and menu display
Non-working examples: VLC: No icon but the menu displays Slack: Icon but no menu Dropbox: Icon but no menu
https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-applets/pull/498 should fix the menu in Slack, and probably other clients.
Dropbox still seems to be an issue. gnome-shell-extension-appindicator has three comments about it, so it seems it's known to not do things properly.
Fixed: Slack: Icon but no menu 1Password: Icon but no menu
Still has issues: VLC: No icon but the menu displays Dropbox: Icon but no menu
We'll leave the issue open but move to Alpha 2.
Hi, jumping in from #518 with other examples
- Tuxedo Control Center : no icon. Menu sometimes does not show up on click. (https://github.com/tuxedocomputers/tuxedo-control-center)
- google-chat-linux (https://github.com/squalou/google-chat-linux/) ok this one is mine :) : icon is displayed but its aspect is not updated depending on connexion status. Note that for this one ... I already have to tweak things to have it work with Gtk, creating a fake libappindicator3.so file to trick electron. So this is probably more electron related than anything)
- synology drive : no icon displayed.
- intelliJ toolbox : no display
- opensnitch : display, menu appears and actions do things BUT menu is not updated
It looks like in most cases, icon and menu is displayed once and for all, but never updated when it should. (exemple : icon when status changes, or menu entries when "tick" should appear / disappear depending on status)
I believe that an issue I am experiencing maybe relevant here. If a new issue is the more appropriate way to submit this feedback happy to do so. I've not actively submitted feedback via Github in this manner previously so any details for etiquette or best practices would be welcomed.
In the Notification Tray applet not all apps that have context menus do not appear to honor those context menus.
For example in my Notification Tray applet I currently have Solaar (System), OpenRGB (System), Bitwarden (Flathub), Discord (System), and Steam (System)
Solaar - the context menu appears and when an option is selected the correct action takes place; i.e. opening the app
OpenRGB - the context menu appears and when an option is selected the correct action takes place; i.e. opening the app
Bitwarden- the context menu appears and when an option is selected the correct action takes place; i.e. opening the app
Steam - the context menu appears but when an option is selected nothing visual happens on screen, app doesn't open, or if Exit Steam is selected Steam does not quit.
Discord - the context menu appears but when an option is selected nothing visual happens on screen, app doesn't open, though if Quit is selected the Discord does quit.
All applications were installed on my system prior to installing Cosmic. Pop!_OS - 22.04 - Cosmic installed 2024-08-06
(additional consideration : reloading the panel does update icons to the expected state at the moment of the reload - at least for electron-based apps ones)

This is a similar issue to mine, nextcloud client and mullvad vpn icons either dont show in the applets area or when they do show I get the context menu and cannot open the app again because its technically already open, usually I have to reboot to open them again. I have to currently minimise those apps so I don't have this issue.
