Description समीरसिंह Sameer Singh 2026-06-06 02:41:28 UTC
DESCRIPTION

In the system tray, when I click on the notifications icon to read the unread notifications, the icon in the panel immediately disappears when the drawer is open, so now I do not have a comfortable point that I can click to close the drawer. To the left and right are other icons which when clicked will be opened, so I would now have to move the cursor to a place where clicking would just close the drawer. It would be better if the notification icon only disappears when the drawer is finally closed.

This is only a nit, but I will still be glad if it is fixed. Thanks.
