Items missing from the system tray icon right click menu
qBittorrent & operating system versions
qBittorrent: 4.5.0 x64 Operating system: Ubuntu 22.10 Qt: 5.15.6 libtorrent-rasterbar: 2.0.8.0
What is the problem?
In the right click menu of the system tray icon in the notification area, all the items are missing except the Exit button, like this:
Steps to reproduce
- Run qBittorrent 4.5.0.
- Try to right click on the tray icon.
- See if all buttons appears or only
Exitbutton.
Additional context
The menu should be like this:
Possible workaround: disable the Show qBittorrent in notification area option and than re-enable it. For me all items appears, until next restart of the app.

This reminds me that I should change the PPAs to Qt6.

There is no such problem with Qt6 on the affected platform?

I don't know. My remark is unrelated to this and I'll mark it as offtopic. That piece of info at the top of the issue caught my eye and reminded me that now the PPAs support only the 2 latest releases which also support Qt6.
Out of curiosity can you also test with official AppImage (download on mainstite)?

@sledgehammer999, with the AppImage file the right click menu doesn't work at all.
The system tray icon right click menu is not working also in qBittorrent v4.5.0 installed from PPA on Ubuntu 22.04.
Which DE are you using? I have tried clean VMs of Ubuntu 22.10 (gnome), Xubuntu 22.10 (xfce) and Arch (KDE). I can't reproduce it. The tray menu works correctly with the PPA version and the AppImage on the above VMs.
Were you using another qbt version before on the same OS? Did it work correctly?
Which DE are you using?
Both versions (22.04 and 22.10) use Ubuntu's default DE - aka gnome.

I did. I used v4.4.5 (and older) on the same OS, and it did work correctly.
Is anyone able to do their own compilations? If so, can you try with this patch? patch->https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/pull/18108

I don't think this patch can fix this issue. I'm thinking on possible solution... Of course it would be nice if someone affected could test it when I'm done.
In the update dated December 4, 2022, the problem persists.
qBittorrent: 4.5.0 x64
Operating system: Ubuntu Mate 22.04.1
DE: Mate 1.26.0
Qt: 5.15.3
libtorrent-rasterbar: 2.0.8.0
echo $QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME -> gtk2
It looks like there is incompatibility with some DE (tray icon providers used by them). I'll try to find a workaround as soon as I get a similar environment.
Which DE are you using? I have tried clean VMs of Ubuntu 22.10 (gnome), Xubuntu 22.10 (xfce) and Arch (KDE). I can't reproduce it.
I can't reproduce it on Linux Mint (neither on Cinnamon, nor on Xfce, nor on Mate).
What does the following return?
echo $QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
qt5ct
What does it return for you on mentioned above desktops?
Same here on Artix 6.0.7 with xfce qBittorrent 4.5.0-1
@MrComexs Please provide complete info like the Issue author did above:

@Rootdiv You too.

What Qt version they are linked with?

So for me I only have the exit option in the context menu on the task bar
@glassez, I'm edited comment https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/18074#issuecomment-1336397165
This issue is reproducible when starting is slow. I successfully reproduced the problem in a clean VM using Arch Linux + MATE after adding a torrent with 43000 small files.
The version of Qt does not matter. I tried to recompile qBittorrent with Qt5 and Qt6 — the behavior is slightly different, but both are broken.
I'm not very familiar with Linux world, but apparently there are different backends providing the tray icon functionality, and the problem is with some of them, regardless of the DE itself.

Didn't test with real torrent but I added extra delay of 10 secs to emulate it. First the reduced menu is shown while torrents are being loaded (delay isn't expired) and then it is replaced with full menu as expected.
@glassez it's not replaced in my clean VM
Click me qbittorrent-tray.mp4
So what kind of software is responsible for top panel of your desktop?
Same behavior here (missing tray menu items). Have not noticed any particular slowness or any change in behavior after some time; the menu items simply do not appear. This was an upgrade of an existing install, and so I do have several torrents in the app already.
Workaround in original post (Behavior -> "Show qBittorrent in notification area", toggle off, click "Apply", toggle it on, click "Apply") seems to work and causes the menu items to appear properly until the app is restarted.
Fedora 37, with the GNOME Shell DE under Wayland.
Version info, per the "about" dialog box: qBittorrent v4.5.0 (64-bit) Qt: 5.15.7 Libtorrent: 2.0.8.0 Boost: 1.78.0 OpenSSL: 3.0.5 zlib: 1.2.12
(I'm using the qBittorrent from the official Fedora repos, which appears to be this build, in case you need more info on what it's built/linked against.)
System tray is the standard gnome-shell-extension-appindicator for gnome shell.

@MrComexs From what source did you install qBittorrent?
I've just compiled it myself and tray icon menu works as expected (but unfortunately the icon itself is missing so I have only empty clickable area).

I made a VM but I wasn't able to make the same problem happen.
I got rid of the Status Tray Plugin and then re-added it to my panel and now I see all of the menu options but when I quit qbit and re launch it I get the same problem as before. I have also unchecked Show qBittorrent minimized in the Behavior Preferences and when I recheck it I see the all of the menu options but when I quit qbit it goes back to the same problem.
I might reinstall qbittorrent later today to see if that fixes it but I'm not sure since I haven't been able to find a way to replicate my problem tell me what I should do. I don't mind keeping this bug until we get it fixed?

@MrComexs try to add some torrents, preferably with a large number of files (as I mentioned before)
