Would you please share what desktop environment, and possibly system tray application you're using? I vaguely remember this might be the case under GNOME Shell (I forget which system tray extension). Would you please also check if system-tray-using applications like transmission-qt are affected, and ideally also another PyQt system-tray-using application? I think you'll agree that we ought to verify that this isn't a more widespread Qt, PyQt, GNOME Shell, or system-tray-extension issue :-) Thanks! Nicholas signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Package: vorta Version: 0.7.5-1 Severity: normal Hello, i think it's pretty natural to expect that, clicking on the vorta icon on the notification bar, vorta will open. but that's not the case: i need to right click, and then select "Vorta for Borg Backup" menu entry for that to happen.
