Dropbox Client for Linux on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS- icon not clickable.

Guys, I've noticed the bug is gone here on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS o Gnome 46 and Wayland. I just started my notebook and the icon worked flawlessly. If I encounter another bug I'll relate it here.
This is the version where it started to work:
raulgrangeiro@RAUL-PC-2:~$ dropbox version
Dropbox daemon version: 212.4.5767
Dropbox command-line interface version: 2024.04.17God bless you all!
I'm successfully using a workaround with Ubuntu 24.04 and the latest Dropbox version.
1) Create an executable file somewhere in your $HOME directory with these contents:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 5
/usr/bin/gnome-extensions disable ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com
/usr/bin/gnome-extensions enable ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com
As you can see, it simply restarts the appindicator extension (this is what happens whenever you lock and unlock your screen).
2) Make it executable, i.e.: chmod +x $HOME/bin/restart-appindicator.sh
3) Create a new startup app in gnome with this data:
- Name: Restart appindicator
- Command: /home/myusername/bin/restart-appindicator.sh
aristocles, I'll try what you suggested. Seems a nice way to fix it at least while we're waiting for them to fix that for good.
