Description Branko Grubić 2012-11-27 19:07:17 UTC
Description of problem: When I launch liferea RSS reader it doesn't show it's icon in system tray, there is entry in the tray and you can click on it every normal operation works fine. Temporary solution will be to uncheck Tools -> Preferences -> GUI "Show a status icon in the notification area (system tray)." close Preferences window, and open it again and check same option to enable it. This works but only for this instance of application (after application restart it is there without icon). 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
liferea-1.8.10-2.fc18.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install liferea 
2. launch application
3.
  
Actual results:
Entry in the system tray without icon (hard to know if it is there or not, until you hover it with a mouse)

Expected results:
Entry with a regular liferea icon in the system tray.

Additional info:
Tested this with a "fresh" liferea config directory (moved my ~/.liferea_1.8)

Comment 1 Emmanuel Seyman 2012-11-27 19:43:45 UTC
This looks like a duplicate of bug #525702 (which itself has been submitted upstream). Given the signal/noise ratio of the other bug, I'm in favour of making it a dupe of this one.

Comment 2 Branko Grubić 2012-11-27 19:54:41 UTC
It can be, I really don't know, I searched for reported bugs against liferea, and found that one before reporting this, but I wasn't sure if it is the same problem, I remember those incomplete icons in 3.4.x (on f17). Same workaround works for both, but in this case looks like a bigger problem because there is no icon at all.

Comment 3 Emmanuel Seyman 2012-11-28 09:07:40 UTC
I'm quite convinced that this is the same bug which manifests in different ways in Gnome 3.4 or Gnome 3.6 .

I've reproduced the bug on F-18 beta and updated the upstream bug.

According to comment 25 of bug 525702, this is a bug in gnome-shell.
Reassinging appropriately.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 09:31:20 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 13:19:36 UTC
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
