Dropbox icon occasionally disappears

[Pfiff]

I'm using the standard breeze theme. And Dropbox is 8.4.21

But i would like to use the oygen icon set, because breeze is not perfect. For example the trash icon equals the folder icon ...
But this is another story

Ciao!

You mentioned may be it's a dropbox issue. Come to think of it, Maui has replaced the icon with its own, and perphaps that has a conflict with the dropbox icon disappearance!

Plasma dev here:

There is *a* potential issue with application system tray icons that I've fixed. I can't reproduce the Dropbox issue myself, so I can't be sure it's the same thing.

I have a patch https://phabricator.kde.org/D2613 that should fix it.

I've patched and compiled plasma-workspace at for Maui Linux: http://static.davidedmundson.co.uk/maui_..._amd64.deb

Could someone install that package, and see if that resolves the issue.

Thanks!

I installed this plasma-workspace-thing. And got the result you can see in the attached screenshot. The empty space between the speaker-icon and the printer-icon is the dropbox-icon. Yes, it's actually there, but you can't see it. And there is is also a tiny liitle spot ... that's the icon to manage the radiotray-app. Unfortunally it's complete inactive ...

Please help... I installed the fix you have above and now my screen is completely blank and I can't do anything. I REALLY do not want to reinstall everything on my computer, I have it exactly the way it needs to be, and I have some very important information on it as well. Is there anyway to uninstall you fix? Can you think of anyway that I can even access the computer. Skype autostarts and it shows up on the desktop but that is it.

The fix is old. Please try upgrading to plasma-workspace 5.8.0 from our repo again by using a terminal and entering
sudo apt-get install plasma-workspace

I hope that works for you.
