Description Barry Jackson 2016-07-01 16:32:05 CEST
Description of problem:
In plasma5 the tray icon can take from 1 to 8 clicks to open the application window.

This is known by hexchat devs but AFAICT on irc they seem fairly dismissive of the problem which has occurred since plasma moved to statusicon.

I think we maybe need to push upstream a bit on this as it's a real PITA.

Other applications have managed to figure out working solutions.

I haven't noticed this recently; at some time the hexchat icon was fully unresponsive on plasma5, but it got fixed a few months ago with an update to xembedsniproxy. Maybe I was just lucky, I'll keep my eyes open and try to reproduce the bug :)

Well I can no longer test as hexchat as now does not close to tray any more in cauldron - it just vanishes like it did months ago.

[baz@localhost ~]$ ps aux|grep [h]exchat
baz       7123  0.2  0.6 647468 50088 ?        Sl   18:29   0:01 /bin/hexchat
baz      27545  0.4  0.6 650004 52168 ?        Sl   18:37   0:00 /bin/hexchat --existing
[baz@localhost ~]$

The first one was autostarted at boot which vanished on closing, the second I started manually - that also vanished on closing.

Seems it's running but no means of access :(

...and tonight it's there in the systray again.

Still takes anything between 1 and 10 (yes ten) clicks to open it though.

Upping severity as this is really annoying.

Severity: normal => major

Is this bug maybe fixed for now? :)
Comment 7 Rémi Verschelde 2017-05-31 10:00:42 CEST
For me it's working fine on Cauldron.
Comment 8 Barry Jackson 2017-05-31 11:28:37 CEST
Can't help as I gave up with hexchat and now use quassel.

You are the reporter, should we close it then as RESOLVED -> WORKSFORME? I'm not using plasma myself, so I can't test it :)

Works for me.
