Can confirm the same issue when using --use-tray-icon

Hmm so it broke on Windows and Linux with no one noticing before release, I guess they only test builds on Mac OS.

@konomikitten This feature may also be missing from the automatic test coverage.

Downgrading to 1.33.1 fixes the issue while waiting for a proper update. Download link for Windows users: https://updates.signal.org/desktop/signal-desktop-win-1.33.1.exe

Every other version the tray workaround breaks.
Wouldn't it be easier by now to properly implement the feature into the client and maintain it from there? ;)

Can confirm I have the same issue. Removing:

--start-in-tray

allows me to get back into signal on 1.33.2

confirm v1.33.2 on Linux Ubuntu-Mate 19.10
in my case it is related to --use-tray-icon

Just installed version 1.33.3 on Linux, it's working fine now thank you developers.

Confirmed to be fixed in 1.33.3 in Windows 10, thank you!
