Systray icon meta-bug #481
Comments
I think don't think the issue with xchat is a bug in cinnamon. The same behavior occurs in other DEs (tested on gnome-shell and MATE here). |
Another one. Sometimes the Empathy icon is twice as big as it should be, and only the top half is visible as it doesn't fit on the panel that way. |
I can confirm AlbertJP's comment and expand it to Pidgin where the same thing happens to me |
I seem to recall that XChat also had it once. So it seems to affect every program with a tray icon. |
Since Cinnamon 1.4, the battery icon often disappears briefly. And some Gnome 3 or Cinnamon component often forces my computer into hibernate when it goes from 98% to 97%. (This happens in Gnome Shell as well, but not in Gnome 2 based desktops). |
I can confirm that the Skype icon disappears eventually, regardless if I start it manually or when the session is restored. Pidgin is another candidate for me. Interestingly. the Pidgin icon is just no longer visible, but it still accepts actions like mouse clicks. So if you know where to click, the application remains usable. This is not the case for Skype - the icon disappears completely, even though the app is still running in the background. |
I'm experiencing a different behavior. My icons are having trouble updating. For instance, when I open Skype, it's icon is the grey one; when I connect it, it starts the spinning animation, but then it freezes after a few seconds and then no matter what I do with Skype, it stays that way. This happens to every icon: once it freezes, it doesn't change anymore. |
Just found out something: if I change the theme, all icons start to work perfectly, they update correctly and everything. They haven't frozen again yet. I can change my theme back to the original, it stays OK. |
I've noticed that the Pidgin icon sometimes isn't visible immediately after starting the app. |
I can confirm the Pidgin icon does disappear. |
On Mint 12 this is true. Haven't tested it on 13 yet. The Skype icon seems to work better. |
It got better after I updated using the nightly builds (ppa:gwendal-lebihan-dev/cinnamon-nightly). Pidgin is now visible, but the icons still don't update. |
Confirm too, the Pidgin icon does disappear. |
any solution here ? its very disturbing. hope you fix it... |
I had a similar issue with Liferea, this pending commit fixed it. |
To Pidgin users: Empathy has a working tray icon. We probably inherited this bug from Gnome 3, where Empathy works well but Pidgin didn't work either (don't know if this is fixed in recent Pidgin/Gnome versions). |
Hello there, |
@taidoka : |
@angel-kulikov: |
I am on Archlinux and Cinnamon 1.5. |
@raqua: PS: I have to Archlinukse, I have run at startup pidgin and thunderbird. Thunderbird icon often disappears, but after a restart of cinnamon - the icon appeared. @taidoka : @(all): With this patch ( http://pastebin.com/ztyHdC9v ) application icons in the tray was a normal size. Maybe for someone will be as useful as for me |

Have the items here been addressed? I know XChat is an XChat issue. If you think this still might be an issue, see the instructions here to try a newer version. |
The issue is still there for me in version 1.5.7 although happens less often. |
If you haven't updated in the last few days, try installing 1.5.8 and report back please. |
I am fully up to date, will report back when 1.5.8 hits my distro. |
Just for the sake of completeness as the X-Chat bug is being discussed here (RE: "Icon doesn't come back when Cinnamon is restarted"), I'd just like to mention that the same problem arises with the CheckGMail icon in the System Tray applet (see Issue #1077 - currently closed) - although it may be a CheckGMail issue rather than a Cinnamon issue. |
Today I upgraded to 1.5.8 and I have bad news. All the other tray icons that were ok before are now huge and the troublesome deluge icon is not fixed. I also lost "Menu" text close to menu icon which was there before. |
Did a fresh install of Mint 17.3 Cinnamon today and Dropbox is now showing in the tray as an Indicator (no right click menu). Last week, before I did a clean install, it was showing as a statusIcon. Also, if I restart Cinnamon, the Dropbox Indicator disappears although Dropbox is still running. |
My Pidgin icon still does disappear instead of flashing on new message. |
Chrome icon was available in LM 17.3 but disappeared in LM 18. |
owncloud icon disappeared in LM Cinnamon 18 |
Looks like fixed since a week or so. Cinnamon 3.0.7 |
@alkaris - please see my question in https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5661 |
I use Gajim as my XMPP client. When I change the Gajim icon theme (from within the app), its status area icon is cropped. Besides, sometimes the icon is not updated (I can't find out a rule for it) This doesn't happen on KDE because xembeds have been brought back for compat. Gajim seems to use xembed: https://trac.gajim.org/ticket/8043 Using 3.0.7 on Arch |
The following may be yet another systray icon bug: |
@calestyo Have the same bug with new versions of qJackCtl. It happens with apps built with Qt5 (does not happen when the same apps are built using Qt4). Something related with an xembed mechanism ditched in Qt5.
And in Cinnamon Settings → General → Indicators support : Check. |
Just for reference another more: #5573 |
@artscoop: Thanks, but these packages aren't installed on my Debian,... so must be sth. else. |
I just would like to add that this is still or again an issue in Xfce 4.13, here with xfce4-panel 4.13.4 it does not show any tray icon. |
There is also this one: linuxmint/mint19.2-beta#72 |
In Mint 19.3 Cinnamon, the icon for the Stacer program (a program mentioned in #7787) is, unfortunately, mis-spaced (or perhaps overlarge) - at least on one of my systems. (I have yet to check the others.) Screenshot (the Stacer icon is the round clock): The problem persists after restarting Cinnamon. UPDATE: On Mint 20, the Stacer icon is less squashed (although that icon does not seem to work very well, but that may not be a Mint problem). |
Is this the place to report that, on Mint 20 with Cinnamon 4.6.7, moving the systray - while in edit mode - is hard because, for some reason, the icons remain active in edit mode? |
I have been having an issue with icons not being present when starting up: Dropbox and Reminna. When starting up from power off, or on a restart, Dropbox and Reminna icons will not show on systray. I have attempted to play with startup delay of each app to see if it would help with no positive result. |
This is a bug to gather all systray icon bugs together.
EDIT MODE
After dragging an applet the systray icons are replaced by grey icons, or disappear (in git latest).
