Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2019-03-09 15:14:19 UTC 
Is there a difference if you kill the 'xembedsniproxy' process?
Comment 3 Nick Stefanov 2019-03-09 15:27:12 UTC 
Unfortunately there isn't any difference in this regard.
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2019-03-09 15:57:58 UTC 
Bug 403596 comment #10 has a workaround for the 'Slack' program. It might also workaround the issue for the 'Skype' and 'Teams' programs.
Comment 5 Nick Stefanov 2019-03-09 16:26:15 UTC 
Yes thank you, that workaround works :)
Comment 6 Nick Stefanov 2019-03-09 16:34:11 UTC 
Hmm but it helps only for the icon is being displayed correctly. There isn't single or double click on the icon at all. The progrem can be opened only via right click->Open.
Comment 7 Patrick Silva 2019-04-14 13:51:50 UTC 
Here the icons of skype and ms teams look the same no matter if libappindicator-gtk3
is installed or not.
However, I can confirm that some apps (slack and ms teams, for example) are not focused with single left click on their systray icon when libappindicator-gtk3 is installed.
