invisible ibus icon

Description George Hazan 2022-01-26 11:04:57 UTC
SUMMARY
When I login, I see ibus tray icon, while in its settings this icon is disabled. I have to check and then uncheck "Show tray icon" in Ibus settings to hide this icon from tray. On next login the procedure repeats.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Uncheck "Show tray icon" in Ibus settings (rclick on ibus tray icon -> Preferences -> General)
2. Restart kubuntu.
3. Observe ibus tray icon.

OBSERVED RESULT
Tray icon remains in the tray after login.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be no icon if it's disabled in the Preferences.

I can confirm this with IBus on Wayland.

Are you on Wayland too, or X11?

Not Wayland-specific then, I suppose.

Same happens here.

In my case the ibus icon is invisible in system tray, i can right click on it as well.

The invisible ibus tray icon still appears in the tray after every boot and creates an ugly gap between the icons.

This is not a Plasma bug.
Settings and icon come from ibus
