1. When I click or double-click on system tray icons (example: Discord or Deluge) nothing happens, I need to right click and then "open Discord" to actually open it.
2. When I do it the second way and have chrome in fullscreen mode opened and open discord from the background, the chrome stays on the top and discord window actually stays in the bacground so I have to manually bring it forward by clicking on the taskbar.
EDIT: If anyone has the 2nd problem, it is easily solved by going to settings >> Window management >> Window behavior and in the window focus tab set the Focus stealing prevention to NONE. If anyone has a solution for the first problem, it would be still greatly appreciated!
Let's see if it's somehow fixable in general.
Sadly I can only give you the context menu, which you would also find by right clicking, since the Steam Linux client uses Ubuntu's tray icon API, which only supports this behaviour and not raising the window directly.
But it's better than the icon not reacting at all on a left click.
Edit: In fact, was that fix from you?
Yup. ;)
The issues arose from the fact that all of those apps were still using the old legacy tray system which newer Plasma desktop doesn't support. Their response to the issue seems to have been to actually merge the function of left and right click, so now it opens the tray menu for the application, which honestly does the job for me, since everything else about Plasma desktop seems to be functioning that well.
And about the no.2 problem in my original post when Windows would open in background when clicking open in the tray, that is only related to focus stealing settings under the System settings --> Window management --> Window behavior --> Focus tab, it needs to be set to "none".
