SUMMARY
Changing the system tray visibility option for the first or second entry in the list in System Tray Settings>Entries changes the option for both. Changing the option for any of the other entries works as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open system tray settings
2. open the entries menu
3. change the visibility option of either the first or the second entry
4. observe both changing to the same thing that was selected

OBSERVED RESULT
Both visibility options seem to be linked.

EXPECTED RESULT
The visibility options are separate and don't influence the other.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The second entry happens to be Kando (https://github.com/kando-menu/kando) which I just installed and had some weird behavior where it duplicated its systray icon when changing the icon style in Kando's settings. I'm not sure if this is related or not and if this is even a bug that KDE is responsible for.

Can confirm this, seems to happen with electron(?) applications. I used Kando and Discord for this, and they both change. They seem to use some shared ID i think?

Yep, this is a bug in Electron; see Bug 470840. It was already fixed upstream, but these apps need to upgrade the version of Electron they're using.
