Description
On my mac I have two syncthing instances, one for each user. So I changed the port of one of the instances in order for them to run in parallel. Now the following happens for the syncthing with the changed port:
- it seems to me that the status icon follows the syncthing of the other user with the default port
- when I click on the icon and choose
Open, it opens the syncthing with the default port. Same thing if I click the icon, choosePreferencesand thenOpen Syncthing in Browser

Reproduce the issue on macOS with two Syncthing instances and a non-default port. Trace how the status icon, Open action, and Preferences > Open Syncthing in Browser choose an instance; done means each action targets the instance whose port was changed.
