minimize to tray from task bar stopped working

[atomGit]

preferences -> windows -> minimize
select 'minimize to tray' and test - it doesn't work for me (TB minimizes to task bar)

this seems to have started with the last 1 or 2 updates of TB

I am also having this problem.

I am using the testing repositories as well as the KDE unstable repository testing Plasma 6. However, this issue occurs on the stable releases as well.

Know the system you are using.....Please run thunderbird the Wayland way.

#159 (comment)

[atomGit]

@Ximi1970 - i don't understand the relevance of your suggestion - you wrote "Please run thunderbird the Wayland way" while #159 states to force TB to use x11

i'm already using x11 so i'm not seeing how #159 is relevant

Platform: xcb
Session current desktop: KDE
Session desktop: KDE

Sorry missed the x11 in the initial comment.

It's also not working to me when the "Close" option is set to "Default close" (and Thunderbird is restarted after settings this option). However when the "Close" option is set to "Minimize main, close children" - minimization to tray works.
