Eddie Client "minimize to tray" doesn't work on openSUSE KDE/Plasma

[TruckerZer0 0]

Hello all, i have found a problem running Eddie Client on openSUSE Tumbleweed, by enabling the setting in the options to minimize the application in the tray it actually minimizes it on the taskbar, and raising it up results in having an empty window with only the border visible; The only solution for make it visible again is to completely close the application and then reopen it;

My configuration currently is: openSUSE Tumbleweed 5.5.7 x86_64, Qt 5.14.1, KDE Apps 19.12.2, KDE Plasma 5.18.2;

I thank you for any help, sorry for my poor English;

Cannot reproduce on Debian testing, KDE 5.17.5, Qt 5.12.5. You're likely on Eddie v2.16.3, though. Can you please try it with the latest beta? It fixes stuff on all platforms.

Sorry, i forgot to add which version of Eddie i'm using, i'm already on the latest beta version, 2.18.7...

Huh, okay. We should test this on KDE Neon, that distro always has got bleeding-edge packages from KDE. If it occurs there, chances are something changed somewhere in KDE breaking Eddie, or Mono.
By the way, which Mono version are you on?

[TruckerZer0 0]

Mono 6.8.0;

In the meantime I did a quick search in the forum, and found another user's post that reproduces exactly my situation; Also a few post later he

mentions another problem that we share, when Eddie's window has the focus on the dektop the Plasma applications menu flickers, becoming in fact completely unusable; By removing the focus on the window the menu back to normality...

Hi there,


Im' not a developper so i try to help open source software with my bug reports or suggestions.

I use eddie since 3 years now, so i can maybe could make some feedbacks or suggestions.
 

I  have the same issue decribed above here (since 3 years now).
Of course "minimize in tray" option is checked in the setting of eddie.

It' hard to explain the behavior of the eddie window but,
If I left click on eddie in the taskbar, the window is empty as described before
So I have to left click on the systray to do a "'show main window". So i can use eddie UI.
Then i have to do a left click on the systray to do a "'hide main window" to have eddie in only the systray.
So it' a lot of clicks only to have the normal behaviour.

The option "start minimized" is also useless since with this option eddie appears in systray (but a left click show eddie only in the taskbar but not the main window) or directly in the taskbar but a click on it display nothing.

I guess all of this have the same origin.

 

Thanks,

 

 

O!

I can reproduce this now, by the way.

1. Launch Eddie.
2. Minimize Eddie.
3. Restore Eddie window. Window is blank.
4. Select "show main window" in tray. Contents are shown again.

Arch Linux KDE 5.27.3, Framework 5.104.0, Qt 5.15.8 on kernel 6.2.8. Similar CPU, RAM and graphics. Same software versions. Using Wayland.

I have also had this issue for quite some time.
The steps provided by OpenSourcerer also performs the exact same way on my system.
