Expected Behavior
When launching OBS directly into systray, opening the tray menu and selecting "Exit" should exit OBS.
Current Behavior
Instead, nothing at all happened.
Steps to Reproduce
- Run with
--minimize-to-tray - Right-click the tray menu and select
Exit - Observe that nothing happens
- Left-click the tray icon to show the window
- Right-click the tray menu and select
Exit - Observe that OBS exits as expected
Anything else we should know?
The only plugin I have is linux-vkcapture and the bug occurs as described with it disabled as well.
This causes no log output, it's just silently eaten.
This is a recreation of #10933 because the bug is still occurring for me.
KDE Plasma 6.6.4.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with OBS launched using --minimize-to-tray, then trace the system-tray Exit action and compare it before and after the window is shown. Done means selecting Exit exits OBS in both states, with the existing reproduction steps passing on Manjaro Linux.
