Description sebastian.schultz.1991 2020-12-19 05:14:57 UTC 
SUMMARY
after every logout, the system tray arrow disappears and i am unable to expand or otherwise access hidden tray entries.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add system tray to panel (arrow is visible; can expand/configure system tray directly)
2. log out and back in, or reboot

OBSERVED RESULT
arrow is gone. cannot expand tray.

EXPECTED RESULT
arrow persists. can expand tray.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: Gentoo Linux
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.77.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
condition originated with all entries hidden, but i have been able to reproduce with any combination of entry types. this seems to be a reccurrence of bug #427600, which was reported in 5.19.5 and reported to be fixed with 5.20.0. however, in this issue, the condition occurs with the widget on the panel, where in #427600 (judging from the attached image), the problem was in the desktop widget.

possibly worth noting is that this is a very fresh install with extremely minimal configuration.

Well that's odd.

> Well that's odd.

Agreed. I've been messing around and I noticed that it comes back if I activate an item that's "shown when relevant" but is not relevant at boot. For example, if I play a video in Firefox and the Plasma integration applet shows up (sorry if they're not called applets, I'm new to Plasma) or if I hit caps lock and the keyboard indicator applet shows up, the arrow will come back.

So for now, all I have to do is hit caps lock and it's "fixed", but it's still a bug.

Perhapa in light of this, importance should be knocked down to minor? (which I intended to do in original post).
Comment 4 sebastian.schultz.1991 2020-12-19 16:46:13 UTC 
also, i meant the media player applet, not plasma integration. and sorry for the multiple comments, i don't see a way to just edit the original one.
Comment 5 Konrad Materka 2020-12-20 11:28:36 UTC 
I've managed to reproduce, the most important is to have "extremely minimal configuration" - just few applets enabled and no SNI applications.

I prepared possible fix in:

To test it just manually modify this file:
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.private.systemtray/contents/ui/HiddenItemsView.qml

Tested the above fix and system tray is working as expected.
