Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.31-20170921162923+71e03df
Windows 10

Steps to reproduce

  • Open the Windows setting "Select which icons appear on the taskbar"
  • Make sure Keybase is set to off and "Always show all icons in the notification area" is not selected.
  • Launch Keybase.io
  • Click on the Windows tray, then click the Keybase icon
  • Note that the pop-up to interact with Keybase is behind the System Tray window.

Compare this to Microsoft OneDrive which opens a dialog above the Systems Tray area.
