I will confirm that the fixed that Gnome extension mentioned in comment #5 did restore the icons (and places them in the centre) for me although this is not an ideal fix.
Removing/disabling this extension will cause the icons to vanish again. You can see in the icons there that I have Steam and Nextcloud Sync working and displaying. This bug is particularly problematic because the Nextcloud client actually becomes unusable because there is no way to bring it from the dock or launch it without the icon. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2020-12-06 18-53-28.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/+bug/1905370/+attachment/5441545/+files/Screenshot%20from%202020-12-06%2018-53-28.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-appindicator in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905370 Title: The tray icon cannot be displayed when the Ubuntu 20.10 is turned on Status in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My system version is 20.10.
