    Maybe I need todo more testing but it seems with the latest version of

    "appindicator and KStatusNotifierItem support" extension, it fixes the problem.

    Reverting back to "ubuntu Appindicators" extension and the problems is back there.

     

    So disable ubuntu appindicators and install the following extension
    https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/
