After a couple of restarts (3-5) it worked again, but I let the issue open just in case.

Strangely the problem accrued since today again.

The option "--background" sometimes works, but most of the time main window is shown at startup. It's strange this bug is still alive...

Yeah the issue seems to happen only sometimes and also depending on the system. On my other Laptop it works as expected.

I am also facing this behavior on my Ubuntu machines with Gnome... quite annoying.

In my case, i want to add the information, that the window stays open until I explicitly close it via the task bar. Its not just popping up for a short moment.

Same here since updating the appimage to 3.14.0 on Debian/XFCE. Start in the middle of the screen after the 1st login and disappear only after a clic on the icon in the notification area. Worked like a charm before the update :/

This is happening for me constantly now. The window always appears on startup. To reproduce I can restart the PC or exit the NextCloud client and start it with the --background parameter from a terminal and it will always show up with the main window. It's really annoying.

System is XUbuntu 24.04.1, NextCloud desktop client is at 3.14.1

Same with Linux Mint XFCE 22 and 3.14.1 client.
