"View at" unavailable in indicator menu

Version of Variety

0.8.11

Describe the bug

The "View at" option in the indicator menu is greyed out, unavailable to use.

Context

This happens consistently.

To Reproduce

• What I Did: tap Variety indicator in panel
• What I Expected: can arrow to and click or mouse to and tap enter on View at... option; this would open the source of the image (say APOD) for more info.
• What Happens instead: the View at... option is greyed out; cannot arrow to or click on.

Update: I'm confused.

• I had noticed the above behavior for weeks before posting; it was consistent.
• A few hours after posting, I noticed that the View at... menu item was working.

• Rebooting, it was greyed out and unavailable again.
• A day later--and only some mundane office work and one small update to Obsidian (flatpak) later--the *View at..." menu was once again working.

BTW, I have Variety installed via the Fedora RPM repository. And I have included the latest log.

This is working for me on Xfce on v0.8.11 (tested Reddit and NatGeo sources), I wonder if it's an issue with the GNOME indicator plugin.

I am currently experiencing this issue. I'm on: Hardware: Intel i7-13700k Gigabyte z790 Aorus Elite AX

Linux install: OS: Debian 12 GNOME: 43.9 Windowing System: X11 Gnome Extension: AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/)

Note that it seems the Windowing system doesn't matter. X11 and Wayland cause the same issue. The AppIndicator extensions seems to work well for other software that uses it as I haven't see any other trouble.

I should mention, it seems to work (but I don't know how long) if I disable the Gnome Extension: AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support and then reenable it. I think the suggestion earlier that it may be Gnome related may hold some water.

It doesn't work when I first login. But, once I lock and unlock the screen it suddenly works again.

Seems to be related to #635. In previous version I couldn't copy to favorites, but now with 0.8.12 it's the "View at" that's not working. Apparently somebody is playing Whac-A-Mole.

I am experiencing the same issue with KDE 6 (wayland).
