FFS 14.11, Linux, Unable to restore window from System Tray

[pbalex]

Hi, I'm having some issues with FreeFileSync 14.11 running on CachyOS Linux, KDE Desktop Environment.
If I minimise the window at all for both FreeFileSync and RealTimeSync it's not possible to bring them back up again. They'll still run in the background though.

Can this be looked into and addressed? It makes it really difficult if I've got a big sync job to see what's holding it up.

System Details:
CachyOS 7.2.0-1
KDE Plasma 6.7.4, Wayland
FreeFileSync 14.11

Hi, would like to update this, this issue is still present on FreeFileSync 14.12
CachyOS 7.2.5-1
KDE Plasma 6.7.5.

I'd appreciate any assistance at all.

JournalCTL gives me this when I try to right click the tray icon:

Sep 18 21:11:25 cachy26 plasmashell[412149]: Could not find DBusMenu interface, falling back to calling ContextMenu()

Forgot to mention here, but it appears this is actually a KDE bug and not a bug specifically with FreeFileSync. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498824

Would have been nice if anyone involved with FFS had actually responded at any point, but at least the problem isn't with FFS itself.

Generally forum members refrain from replying if they have no clue what is/was causing your problem or how to resolve it.

You telling us no devs watch the forums? I seriously doubt that.

The FFS developer (Zenju) is a forum member just as well.
I can't speak for Zenju, but in my experience in this forum,
my above reply applies to Zenju equally well.

Zenju at least has the means to investigate the issue and possibly even come up with a workaround. Or at least confirm that it's on their radar for things to be looked at.
