Description Jacob Chodubski 2021-11-24 17:28:43 UTC 
While recording screen on wayland there is a tray icon named *Recording screen "name_of_screen"* . Clicking it stops screensharing. This is very unexpected for 2 reasons:
 - Most of other icons in tray upon click invoke either a window with more options or open an applet. No action is done immediately.
 - Only way user would know clicking it will stop screensharing is by hovering over with a mouse and seeing tooltip.

The most expected behavior would be opening an applet which contains a button "Stop recording". It could also contain additional information such as: what is being recorded (window or full screen), how long since recording has started, what application is recording.

That seems reasonable to me.

don't stop recording on click, use a contextmenu instead

previously it was super not obvious that clicking would stop the
recording. now it is.
