I experienced the same issue. I found the setting 'Hide window to system tray when minimised' to be the culprit. If this setting is disabled, it works again for me. I have not tried, if it depends also on the other UI settings. With these UI settings I am experiencing the bug:

[GUI]
MinimizeOnClose=true
MinimizeOnStartup=true
MinimizeToTray=true
ShowTrayIcon=true
TrayIconAppearance=monochrome-light

To fix your KeepassXC installation, edit your settings file (in Linux it is located under ~/.config/keepassxc/keepassxc.ini) and set the value MinimizeToTray to false.

I am on Linux Manjaro, installed KeePassXC from the Manjaro Package Repository, am on Gnome 46.

The problem started to appear after the update to Gnome 46 and from keepassxc 2.7.6-3 to 2.7.7-2, not sure which one caused the issue.

Thanks for all the good work, I love the project!

This seems much more a gnome issue than ours. We haven't changed anything related to that setting in a long time. Plus it works perfectly fine everywhere else.

I can confirm this abnormality on Gnome and X11. At launch it will toggle, but arbitrarily it will cease responding to a toggle invocation.

If I exit and restart KPXC, the toggle then performs as expected.

It may indeed be an upstream gnome issue, but it does impact others so I am pushing back on "it works perfectly fine everywhere else" as it does not.

When I say it works perfectly fine everywhere else I am referring to everywhere that is not gnome.

I am using KDE Plasma 6 desktop. With X11 the minimizing to tray stuff all works perfectly fine.

But with wayland (which I prefer for better high DPI handling) there are several issues:

hide when minimized doesn't work at all
hiding by clicking on tray icon only works, if the window is currently active = on top & selected

The second described point also causes a similar behavior to the one described by @caesarw in his original post, when the window is currently open on a different virtual desktop: It can't hide it from there (because it's not currently active) and therefore it can't reopen it on the current virtual desktop on a second click. That's how it works with X11.
