fix(linux): do not treat opening the tray menu as a click - #6018
Conversation
Right-clicking a tray icon ran the click handler as well as opening the menu, so an app that shows its window on click had the window toggle on every right-click — and with an attached window, toggle again on the next one. The dbusmenu "opened" event says the host is about to show the context menu, which is the secondary button. ItemIsMenu is published as false, so a primary click arrives as Activate and is already handled there; the menu-open path only needs to run the onMenuOpen callback.

Pull request overview
Fixes Linux tray behavior where opening the context menu (right-click) incorrectly also fired the primary click handler, causing attached windows to toggle unexpectedly on right-click.
Changes:
- Stop calling the tray click handler on the dbusmenu
"opened"event; call onlyonMenuOpen. - Add an unreleased changelog entry documenting the Linux tray fix.

Added in 54652d6 — v3/pkg/application/systemtray_linux_event_test.go, linux-tagged and sitting next to the existing systemtray_linux_race_test.go. TestLinuxSystemTrayMenuEventsDoNotClick asserts Event("opened") runs onMenuOpen and not clickHandler, and Event("closed") runs onMenuClose and not clickHandler. TestLinuxSystemTrayActivateClicks covers the other direction — Activate is the path a primary click actually arrives on, since ItemIsMenu is published as false, so it must still run clickHandler (and record the click position). TestLinuxSystemTrayEventsWithoutHandlers checks neither path panics with no handlers attached. Verified both ways: restoring the clickHandler() call in the "opened" case makes the first test fail, and the set passes with the fix in place.
Pins the fix: Event("opened") must run onMenuOpen and not the click
handler, Event("closed") must run onMenuClose and not the click handler,
and Activate — the path a primary click actually arrives on — must still
run it.

- Around line 38-52: Strengthen TestLinuxSystemTrayMenuEventsDoNotClick by
registering both onMenuOpen and onMenuClose handlers and asserting each menu
event increments only its intended counter while leaving the other unchanged.
Update TestLinuxSystemTrayActivateClicks to install menu callbacks as well, then
assert Activate invokes only the click handler and does not invoke either menu
callback.

Each assertion now pins the whole set of click / onMenuOpen / onMenuClose counts rather than the one callback it is about, and Activate is checked against a tray that has the menu callbacks attached, so an event reaching a callback it should not fails the test.

Description
Right-clicking a tray icon runs the click handler as well as opening the menu, so an app that shows its window on click has the window toggle on every right-click — and with an attached window, toggle again on the next one.
The dbusmenu
"opened"event says the host is about to show the context menu, which is the secondary button.ItemIsMenuis published asfalse, so a primary click arrives asActivateand is already handled there; the menu-open path only needs to run theonMenuOpencallback.No issue filed; found while building a tray-based app.
Type of change
How Has This Been Tested?
A tray app whose
OnClicktoggles an attached window.Before: left-click toggles the window (correct); right-click opens the menu and toggles the window, so the menu appears over a window that just opened, and the next right-click closes it again.
After: left-click toggles the window; right-click only opens the menu. Verified against the D-Bus traffic — the primary button arrives as
org.kde.StatusNotifierItem.Activateand the secondary one ascom.canonical.dbusmenu.Eventwith"opened", so the two paths stay distinct.Also checked that an app using
OnMenuOpenstill gets that callback.Debian 13 (trixie), KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland.
