Hi, I don't think this is well-tested on Xfce. Mostly we have macOS and Gnome users.

If you can submit a PR to improve the behavior on Xfce, that would be great. Someone already added a workaround for KDE. Something similar could be needed for Xfce.

I had the same problem, I solved it by disabling the "The menu is a main action" option in the Status Notifier Plugin settings.

Thanks for the tip, @cbruno1 . We should add this to the docs somehow.
