6 1. Run the `./librepods` executable on Linux.                                                                                                                     
7 2. Left-click on the tray icon.                                                                                                                                   
8 3. Click on "Settings" or "Open".

18 Additional context
19 The right-click menu and battery level on hover work correctly. The crash only occurs with the left-click menu options.

Research direction

Run the ./librepods executable on Linux Mint and reproduce the crash by selecting Settings or Open from the tray icon's left-click menu. Trace those menu actions and use the reported segmentation fault or generated core to identify the failing path. Done means both windows open without crashing while the existing right-click menu and hover behavior still work.
