Hello,

Has anyone managed to get Dropbox from AUR working properly?

My problem is that when it starts, I get no icon in the top bar. In order to view an icon, I have to use the [appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/) extension, but the problem is that clicking on the menu (left or right mouse button) does not bring up the popup menu.

In order to get the menu to work I have found the workaround of disabling/re-enabling the extension from command-line with:

```auto
$ gnome-extensions disable appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com ; sleep 1 ; gnome-extensions enable appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com

```

After than, clicking on the icon does bring up the menu:

What could be causing this issue? Is it an extension issue, a Gnome issue, or a dropbox issue?

That’s an old known problem that now and then gets fixed by the extension or Dropbox and now and then gets broken again by one of them…
