Package: ausweisapp2
Version: 1.26.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
On gnome-shell with gnome-shell-extension-appindicator installed, the app
starts hidden in the background without any window or an icon on the dash.
Its appindicator (tray icon) in the top panel only offers to quit the
application, however, double-clicking on the appindicator brings the app to the
foreground.
The correct behaviour should be that the app normally starts in the foreground,
and its appindicator offers to show/hide the app in the foreground/background.
Best,
Amr

Just for the record: This works perfectly fine on KDE. You can hide the
app in the tray using the corresponding option in the settings menu and
it will move itself in the foreground the moment a website starts interacting
with the app.

I disagree. It's a configurable option and works as expected. You can either
leave the app running in background or you can start it manually each time
you need it. Both works fine, so there is no need to change the behavior.
I am therefore closing this bug report for the time being as the package is
working as designed in Debian and it's not up to me as the package maintainer
to make design decisions to the upstream project.
Thanks,
Adrian
