Community-edition: Nothing happens when clicking above the Rambox icon on the system tray.

[ghost]

Steps to reproduce

1. Click above the system tray icon of Rambox.

Expected behavior

After clicking above the Rambox icon on the system tray the application window should be opened if closed or closed if opened.

Actual behavior

Nothing happens when clicking above the Rambox icon on the system tray.

ENVIRONMENT

System: Host: carlos-pc Kernel: 4.10.0-1-MANJARO x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.8.5 Distro: Manjaro Linux

Rambox: Version: 0.5.1 Platform: linux (x64) Electron: 1.4.15 Chromium: 53.0.2785.143 Node: 6.5.0

Arch: x64

I did a video sample showing what I mean when I say that the window should be opened after clicking above the system tray icon of Rambox, I'm going to show how the Thuderbird icon on the system tray behaves on my system.

@edit
There are already some issues closed talking about the same subject:

https://github.com/saenzramiro/rambox/issues/206
This one says that it is possible to open Rambox by double clicking the icon on the system tray, but actually even double clicking the icon doesn't work.

https://github.com/saenzramiro/rambox/issues/384
This second one says that in the past the icon on the system tray worked properly, so I guess that it was working only on Windows or after some new release of Rambox this feature stopped working.

I've got the same problem.
System: Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon (Kernel 4.8.0-32-generic)
Rambox: 0.5.2

Nothing works on the tray for me, not even notifications.

System: Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon
Rambox: 0.5.2

[saenzramiro]

I will fix this in next version.

Same problem here, ubuntu16.04 with Unity. I have to click 2 times in "show/hide Window" to open Rambox window.

[tareko]

Also adding a reference to #592 , #700 and #748 , which are the same issue.

[tareko]

I assume that 0.5.8 was supposed to resolve this? It does not on GNOME. left-click or double-click does not produce the window.

[DerEnderKeks]

Can confirm that. Same on Cinnamon with Rambox 0.5.8. No action on left or double left click.

Confirmed on GNOME and Arch Linux. The thing is: there are other electron apps where this is working! Try Slack for example. In GNOME I just have to single-click on the Slack icon in the tray and it will open.

Open source example where this is working: openWMail

The "magic" in openWMail sits here I think. On Linux it just listens to the single click event. Double-click seems not to work. Maybe this could be implemented in Rambox? Would be very helpful.

[toXel]

So I just cloned the repo and changed this line from double-click to click and it just works now in GNOME! So simple but so handy! @saenzramiro Could I open a PR with a little change to that code so it will register a single click event on Linux?

Any update on this?

After today's update for version 0.5.9 the problem was still not solved. Was it supposed to be solved after this update?

[tareko]

Also not resolved for me.

[dankawka]

Same here:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 17.04
Release: 17.04
Codename: zesty

Version: 0.5.9
Platform: linux (x64)
Electron: 1.7.1
Chromium: 58.0.3029.110
Node: 7.9.0

@saenzramiro Hello, could you please take a look at this problem again? It seems that it was not solved on milestone 0.5.4. I'm using currently version 0.5.10 and it is still not working.

[glolsh]

Not resolved for me. Checked on 16.04 and 17.04.

[phatina]

Doesn't work for me; running Fedora 25.

[zeluisping]

Version: 0.5.13
Platform linux (x64)
Electron: 1.7.8
Chromium: 58.0.3029.110
Node: 7.9.0

uname -a

Linux where 4.10.0-37-generic #41~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 6 22:42:59 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is KDE Neon running latest version. Happens on two completely different machines.

The source of problem is in Electron package: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/6773

The ugly workaround for Debian/Ubuntu and some other Linux distributions provided here https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/3133#issuecomment-314739871 is remove libappindicator library file from filesystem (or rename):

mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libappindicator.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libappindicator.so.1.0.0_off

If this don't help, you can try to rename other file too:

mv /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libappindicator3.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libappindicator3.so.1.0.0_off

But this can broke some other apps, that use libappindicator library, and those files will be recreated after installing updates of libappindicator library.
