Describe the bug

When I try to access the options in the systray menu of an application, it instantly closes.

To reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open up steam
Right click on steam icon in systray
Try to hover over the options that pops up

Expected behavior

I should be able to click on the options in the menu.

System information:

Distro: Arch Linux
Compositor: Hyprland and Niri
Ironbar version: 0.18.0-pre

Configuration

Config

name = "bar"
autohide = 200
height = 21
popup_autohide = true

[[start]]
type = "workspaces"
all_monitors = false

# add launcher when it is fixed

[[end]]
type = "tray"

[[end]]
type = "bluetooth"

[end.format]
not_found = ""
disabled = " Off"
enabled = " On"
connected = " {device_alias}"
connected_battery = " {device_alias} • {device_battery_percent}%"

[end.popup]
scrollable = false

[[end]]
type = "battery"
format = "{percentage}%"

[end.thresholds]
warning = 20
critical = 5

[[end]]
type = "volume"
format = "{icon} {percentage}%"
max_volume = 100
on_scroll_up = "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +2%"
on_scroll_down = "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -2%"

[end.icons]
volume_high = "󰕾"
volume_medium = "󰖀"
volume_low = "󰕿"
muted = "󰝟"

[[end]]
type = "clock"
format = " %I:%M %p \n %d/%m/%y"
format_popup = "%r"

# battery volume workspaces

Styles

I do not have a styles.css. I just use the default one that comes with ironbar.

I've not observed this myself. Could you try setting popup_autohide to false and see if that makes any difference?

Setting it to false did not fix it. The only way I found to fix it was to disable autohide by commenting out the autohide = 200 line.
