The same is happening for me with the Synology Cloudstation Client and additionally, Cadence, the Jackd manager app. Also only happening under X and not Wayland. This was actually working before Ubuntu got it's hands on it so it was a recent update. The version on Gnome Extensions I assume has had the same patches applied as it is not displaying icons now either. It stopped working two updates ago.
Happens at log-in. But to add a twist to the plot, I have the exact same behaviour with Ubuntu 17.04 running Unity 7! I would have missing app-icons under X but they would display fine under Wayland. Yet still, with this current version of the problem, it only started happening in the past month. Therefore, I put it to you that the issue is not so much with this package but potentially a patch in X that was recently applied. Probably the same patch they used in the previous version of Ubuntu at some point. Likely to be an Ubuntu customisation of X rather than the appindicator package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714504 Title: App indicator is not always displayed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/+bug/1714504/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
