Ubuntu 22.04 Dropbox Trayicon changes to 3 dots

Ubuntu 22.04 clean install...
At start the dropbox trayicon is displaying correctly.
After a lockscreen and returning to the desktop the trayicon changes to 3 dots.

 

from the terminal: dropbox status: up to date

    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/

    Hi redman5087, let's look into this! 

     

    So, when you click on the three dots, what do you see there? Can you also let me know which version of the app you've installed on your device? 

     

    Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

        Hey redman5087, sorry to jump in, but I just wanted to mention that there's a more recent version of the desktop app which just came out.

         

        Could you give it a go from this page and let us know how it goes?
