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.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > 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).
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.
I've managed to reproduce, the most important is to have "extremely minimal configuration" - just few applets enabled and no SNI applications.
