That's the wrong one, there should be a "log.txt" near the bin file.

Hi, I have this issue too.

Configuration
Operating system: Debian 8.8 with KDE 4.14.2
Version of Telegram Desktop: 1.0.29

[thnt]

Same here.
Click to notification of other electron apps(Skype, Caprine,...) will open Telegram from tray icon.
System: openSUSE, KDE 5.10
Telegram Desktop v1.1.17

[Feichtmeier]

Same here.
Ubuntu 16.04 with GNOME3.20
I receive e-mails with geary and klick the notification and telegram pops up

[auchri]

Duplicate of #1026

[jhasse]

I don't think it is a duplicate, since #1026 is from 2015 and I'm very sure this has only started to happen in recent Telegram versions for me (some update from this year has caused this).

[auchri]

@jhasse But it's basically the same topic

[stek29]

Or maybe some update of gnome caused it?

[john-preston]

@jhasse If you could show the exact version when the problem starts it would be helpful. All versions are available here: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/releases

[jhasse]

1.0.29 seems to be the first version with the bug. These are the ones I've tested:

1.1.19 bug
1.1.12 bug
1.1.10 bug
1.1.0 bug
1.0.29 bug
1.0.28 working
1.0.27 working
1.0.26 working
1.0.23 working
1.0.18 working
1.0.0 working

[Feichtmeier]

Update: when you disable the tray icon/background process (i guess)
That behaviour is not there! Clicking notifications normally opens the application which sent the notification
