Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/583

Operating Systems

Server: Pop!_OS 19.10
Client: Pop!_OS 19.10

Barrier Version

2.3.2-snapshot-9080ce45

Steps to reproduce bug

READ ME, DELETE ME: Try to be succinct. If your bug is intermittent, try and describe what you're doing when it happens most.

Run Barrier on Pop!_OS 19.10
Click the status icon
GNOME desktop restarts

Other info

This bug obviously requires the status bar icon support, which was added for third party programs in Pop!_OS 19.10 (as far as I know), so it never occurred on older versions.

Aside from accessing the application menu, it doesn't affect the operation of the program or service. It also only happens on my Macbook Pro Late 2015 (client), the desktop server doesn't even show the status bar icon.

I'm a beginner at Linux, so if anyone can point me to where I can get any helpful logs I would be happy to provide more info.

Update: It stopped crashing? I think I updated the OS, but it wasn't a major update. At least, not big enough to change the OS version number.
