So I asked about this issue in blueman github page:
opened 05:53AM - 19 May 24 UTC
**blueman**: 2.2.4-1
**BlueZ**: 5.64-0ubuntu1.1
**Distribution**: Zorin 17 Lit… e (Based on Xubuntu 22.04)
**Desktop environment**: xfce 4.18
* [x] I have consulted the [Troubleshooting page](https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/wiki/Troubleshooting) and done my best effort to follow.
### Issue
blueman-tray is restarting the xfce4-panel's systray-plugin on most of the toggle on/off. It's irritating because it removes the bluetooth icon and network icon from the panel for few seconds. It also happens sometimes when I connect to a bluetooth device, upon successful connection/disconnection it restarts the systray-plugin.
This problem is observed only when the **Appindicator plugin** is enabled in the blueman plugins. If I disable it then it doesn't create any issue but now if I left click on the bluetooth icon then it opens blueman-manager instead of the blueman-tray menu.
### Logs:
- blueman-tray --loglevel debug: https://termbin.com/ycnp
### Steps to reproduce:
- Don't know, I did a clean installation a week ago and since then this issue starts happening.
- Reboot also doesn't fix this.
- `killall blueman-tray` get rid of it for few minutes but again it comes back.
### Screen recording:
**Note:** to keep the recording short duration I toggled on/off quickly, but it doesn't matter even if I do it much later the problem still happens.

The problem was in Blueman version 2.2.4(outdated) which uses an Appindicator plugin to display the bluetooth icon in the panel. This plugin was replaced blueman 2.3 onwards. So I followed their instructions and installed a newer version of the blueman. Now it doesn't restart the systray-plugin.
