Description

I believe this behavior is the same on Windows 10, Linux, and OS X.

If I want to sign out quickly, I can't. It takes five clicks if the app is not in the foreground.
1) Click on icon in system tray
2) Click hamburger to get drop-down
3) Click Settings (why would sign-out be a setting?)
4) Click Sign Out
5) Click to confirm

In basically every other chat / instant messaging client I've used, I could right-click on the tray icon and choose to sign out. I much prefer to have that quick sign-out functionality.

Research direction

The issue describes the system-tray menu and the existing Settings > Sign Out flow across Windows, Linux, and OS X. Start by locating the tray-menu entry point and current sign-out action, then check how those paths are implemented on each platform. Done means a tray interaction exposes sign-out directly and the behavior is covered across the named platforms.
