It seems like "Activate" is not even implemented, only
"SecondaryActivate".

KDE had to work around this by just falling back to opening the context menu:
This is a huge problem affecting many distros, including of course
Ubuntu, that rely on this package. You can see tons of people reporting
this across the web. So why is this low priority?

The fucking tray icon doesn't work. Please for the love of god. I'm just
trying to left click to open my app.

But it does happen on Ubuntu.
> The priority is low for Ubuntu since there is no report of such
problems on Ubuntu
Here comes that report. To reproduce:
1. Download the latest Ubuntu (21.04, live stick is enough).
2. Download and open Joplin
The issue you describe doesn't happen on xubuntu with the indicator,
trying nmapplet as an example the menu opens on top of the panel and not
at the cursor location, also relaxing the click doesn't close it nor
trigger the action. The placement and rendering of the menu would rather
be an issue
@Sebastien, there are probably reasons for low priority. Nevertheless,
there are hundreds of applications that suffer from this issue (e.g.
google for "electron tray left click" - most are caused by this issue).
And since gkt4 will drop direct api support, libappindicator becomes
more important.
