Google Chrome Flatpak tray icon issues in KDE
After installing Google Chrome from Bazaar, the tray icon for google chrome duplicates itself, with the original tray icon being able to spawn new chrome windows, but the active window not allowing for spawning of said windows.
This slightly messes up my workflow in browser and doesn't appear to effect Firefox or Brave Flatpaks.
I haven't tested Gnome, so I don't know if this is a bigger issue or not. Output of journalctl while opening Chrome is attached.
