Description lune 2024-10-11 12:30:53 UTC

SUMMARY
Sometimes, applications in the tray and widgets may interact with each other. Two examples:

1. Discord and Mullvad VPN are installed. Both have their entries always hidden in the tray. When attempting to always show Mullvad's entry, it brings along with it Discord's tray entry for some reason.
2. Telling Apdatifier (an Arch update helper) to start upgrading my system pops out Konsole with the aforementioned update, but also brings out Icedrive which is also present in the tray. This should not be happening.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have some applications in the tray. Let's use Discord and Mullvad as an example.
2. Attempt to always show Mullvad's entry. 

OBSERVED RESULT
It brings along Discord's entry as well.

EXPECTED RESULT
Only Mullvad's entry should be visible in the panel.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: EndeavourOS 6.10.12-hardened-1 / Plasma 6.2
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.7.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is a bizzare bug and I hope I am reporting it correctly, but it should be easy to reproduce. If the Discord and Mullvad examples don't work, try using Apdatifier to update the system and have the Icedrive .appimage running as well in the tray. I am not insinuating that it only happens with these apps - this seems to affect random apps in the tray. Experiment.

Do all affected tray icons come from apps implemented using the Electron toolkit or Chrome/Chromium? I know that Discord is, but I don't know about Mullvad VPN or Adaptifier. If so, this is Bug 470840.

Oh I see, that must be it, they have no label in the tray settings. Then I apologise for the duplicate.
