Description
When I click on the system tray icon, nothing happens. It doesn't matter if I left-click, right-click, or double-click. If the desktop client window is closed and I want to open it, I have to restart the app.
I'm using Keybase 6.2.2 on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS (a Linux distribution downstream from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). My desktop environment is GNOME 42.9.
This issue is similar to issue #23150, but in that case users were reporting that double-clicking worked, which it does not in my case.

Research direction
The report names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the system tray behavior on Pop!_OS 22.04 with GNOME 42.9, compare the symptoms with issue #23150, and trace the desktop client's tray entry point. Done means left-, right-, and double-clicking the tray icon responds and can reopen the closed window.
