Description

Upon closing the window, it minimizes to the system tray. However, upon subsequent attempts to reopen it by clicking on the icon, rather than restoring the previous instance, a new one is launched.

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior by closing Steam to the system tray and clicking its icon again to see whether a second instance opens. No file or test is identified in the issue; investigate the repository's Steam launch and tray integration, and consider the issue done when reopening restores the existing instance.
