Linux desktop client menu issue

📱 Desktop & mobile clients 💻 Desktop

Hi!
I have installed Nextcloud Desktop app on a Debian 12 (bookworm) machine, using flatpak.
The version installed is 3.9.0.
GNOME Version is: 43.4
and the windowing system is Wayland.
Machine is a Vmware ESXi 8.0 (VM version 20)

The app works mostly ok, but with a few caveats:

  1. it doesn’t show the menu when clicking the logged user. (also doesn’t show the icon for the apps menu) - see attached screenshots.
  2. sometimes it goes offline for no apparent reason.

The problem is that, not having access to the menu, I can’t bring up the settings screen, where I could try to check/uncheck some folders to be synced.

I have 2 Nextcloud servers that I tried to connect to. In both cases the client behaves the same. Also the windows client looks/works normal being connected to either of those 2 same servers…

did you figure it out? I have the same problem on Fedora Silverblue 38.

I don’t know if this is just related to tray, which doesn’t exist in gnome3, or to the problem at hand:

Apparently this is a known bug!
I stopped using the flatpack version for the moment… so not exactly a solution.

You have a link to a bug report or anything. I haven’t found one yet.

Hey,

any Update here? I get this Problem on Flatpak and native Installation with the Client on the newest Version 3.13.0 on Nobara 39 and 40.

Thanks
