Applet icons sometimes appearing in double

[chutetearer]

When booting, applet icons (mostly NetworkManager Applet) often appear in double. Logging out and in again solves the problem.

After the recent update of Xapp the problem remains unchanged: when booting, applet icons often appear in double. Logging out and in again solves the problem.

Hello!
I had the same issue with my Mint 20.

But seems that it was solved with update (apt-get update; apt-get upgrade)

[scytho]

Here we go again.

It appeared either when I switched to Mint 21.1 (from Mint 19.3, where the issue didn’t occur) or when I updated from 21.1 to 21.2. Logging out and back in doesn’t always solve the problem, i.e. I have to do that one, two or three times. Sometimes both network and volume icon appear in double, sometimes only the volume icon.

[scytho]

I am still having this issue, with all updates installed.

Is this not a MATE panel issue? https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel
