#1536 Task coach only get maximized/minimized when clicking exactly in the middle of the symbol in the task tray

In Linux when using KDE (here it would be KDE 4.12.4) (don't know what it's like with other desktops), and I click on the symbol in the task tray, mostly nothing happens. Then I have to click again, and again, and again, until I found out, that this symbol only reacts when you click almost exactly in the middle. At the boarders it does not react, neither on left nor on right clicks.
I tried it out with other applications, and on their task tray icon also the boarders react. So it's not a KDE issue.

It's not a bad bug, but a really annoying one...

    I can confirm this bug. I also use KDE. I am pretty sure this exact issue has not always been a problem (although the tray icon has always been a bit glitchy)

    There is a related problem since this version 1.4.1 (I'm guessing as of this fix) on LinuxMint 17 LTS 64bit with the MATE desktop.

    The TC icon in the task tray is very large and stretched out when you start TC and then when you start tracking time the icon disappears leaving a big gap on the task tray where the ticking clock icon should be. When you click where the icon should be TC still maximises as expected.
