1. Launch an app with a GTK-based system tray icon (like Screenkey, Syncthing-GTK, or Element (Electron)).
2. Right-click the icon.

OBSERVED RESULT
No menu opens.

EXPECTED RESULT
A menu opens.

I believe it's fixed in 5.23 release.

Can anyone else confirm?

The right-click menus weren't working in the beta, now they do in the release, however, they are still somewhat broken and left-clicking on the xembedsni tray icon sometimes brings up the right-click menu, from a _different_ tray icon, which is really weird.

Sounds like a separate issue. Can you open a new bug report about it?

I could file a bug no problem, but it's kinda hard to even get a screenshot of that happening. I'm currently fiddling with it.

It is technically a separate issue, though I suspect it was caused by fixing this one.

Comment 7 nyanpasu64 2021-10-18 02:02:56 UTC 
I upgraded to 5.23. Unfortunately the right-click issue is worse. The first right-click opens the menu as normal, but the second one either causes a flickering black square to appear above the menu (the icon's right-click menu appearing and disappearing rapidly), and/or causes the entire desktop to act as if the mouse was constantly spamming right-click inputs to the app under the cursor (menus appearing and disappearing, hundreds of Konsole "configure shortcut" dialogs opening). At this point, Xorg is burning 1 core of CPU, plasmashell is burning between 1 and 2 cores of CPU, and exiting this state requires killing plasmashell and possibly the app you right-clicked as well.

This issue occurs with compositing on or off.

Should this be tracked here or in a separate bug?

Update: I think my issue is the same as Bug 443925.

Thanks. It means I'm not crazy. :-D
