Description Alex 2023-02-20 10:37:54 UTC

SUMMARY
All running Flatpak apps (whether autostarted or not) are missing their icon in the system tray since plasma update 5.27.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch any Flatpak app, check if icon is showing in the tray

OBSERVED RESULT
No icon is shown in plasma system tray. In the "entries" menu, no Flatpak apps appear either. Other programs (i.e. installed via pacman) work as expected.

EXPECTED RESULT
System tray icon should show normally for Flatpak apps like the ones of any other programs.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 6.1.12-arch1-1 (64-bit)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Reinstalling apps and/or switching from X11 to Wayland does not change anything.

Apparently it was a conflict between SOME Flatpak apps and the latest Plasma update. Anyway, I was able to solve the most annoying missing tray icon (SynologyDrive) by downloading it elsewhere. As of today, other Flatpaks seem to work correctly.
