It can be found in the About window (open from the menu or via F1 and click on "Copy report" button).

Client logs when I run with the `flatpak run com.nextcloud.talk` command, a freedesktop.Dbus erro occurs (I believe its the real problem) `Failed to get the ownership of org.freedesktop.StatusNotifierItem-3-1: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error Service Unknown`

Research direction

Reproduce the window reopen sequence on ZorinOS with Wayland using flatpak run com.nextcloud.talk, and start by checking the reported freedesktop.DBus StatusNotifierItem error. Trace the desktop window and dock behavior from the relevant Electron entry point; done means the closed window reopens visibly and the logs no longer show the reported failure.
