I know it's a known issue, but using Tray Icons: Reloaded Gnome extension seems to fix it for all electron-based apps except ElectronMail.

Some examples are:

  • Discord
  • signal-dekstop
  • Caprine

I'm don't know any details, but hope you'll give it a look.

After changing the tray icon implementation in v8 @electron (they, more exactly the @chromium, switched to status notifier based tray icon implementation) they reverted the change back since many linux systems were not yet ready to adopt the change and so the click on tray icon got broken again.

Even if it works on some environments, like Gnome + Tray Icons: Reloaded (which I have not verified myself), it doesn't work for other kinds of desktop environments. I have just tested Discord using the Xfxe environment and the issue is still there. The Signal doesn't show any tray icon at all.

So this is an upstream issue which needs to be fixed by @electron.
