Hello Sebastian, or anyone else affected, Accepted indicator-applet into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator- applet/12.10.2+20.04.20201004-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Description changed: [Impact] In Focal the indicator-applet (12.10.2+20.04.20200409-0ubuntu1) contains a bug that can cause duplicate icons to appear in the applet. When an application which creates a notification item is closed, then the indicator applet will just hide its item and not remove it. If the application is started again, a new item will be added to the applet, but the old item is still present (just hidden). When the panel is moved or otherwise refreshed, then all items will be made visible again, causing many duplicates. The required fix is included in https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indicator- applet-developers/indicator-applet/trunk.14.04/revision/451 and needs to be back ported into the new SRU release. For more details see this merge request: https://code.launchpad.net/~lanoxx/indicator-applet/fix-duplicate-icons/+merge/390344 [Test Case] - 1. Open an application which adds a notification item to the indicator applet. Examples for such an applications are VLC, Network Manager Applet, or Skype. - 2. Close the application and reopen it. - 3. Hold Alt key, then move the panel which has the indicator applet to an different edge of the screen. - 4. Observe that new two icons of the respective application are visible (e.g. to VLC icons). + 1. Open an application which adds a notification item to the indicator applet.
