Public bug reported:

Hello,

because GTK will drop tray icon support in version 4, many projects
switch to libappindicator instead. Some are network-manager-applet,
blueman-tray and electron (affecting all electron apps). The latter 2
automatically use libappindicator if it's available in the system.

For most applications, with libappindicator the tray icon behavior is
broken (at least on archlinux with xfce4 and libappindicator-gtk3):

* left mouse button triggers the context menu rather than the left-mouse-button 
action
* the context menu is located beneath the mouse button, so when the mouse is 
released, the action is performed (in most cases "exit application").

Since the web is full of issue reports about this, I'm, pretty sure it's
an issue in libappindicator itself than in every single application that
uses it.

IMO this is a critical issue, especially for a library that provides
tray support to applications.

Kind regards,
Michael.
