Ever since beta release 138.3.2340 I have periodically been reporting that it is difficult/impossible to keep the Dropbox icon on the taskbar after the automatic update has taken place on 64-bit systems.
I wrote "Even if I set the icon to be on the taskbar in the "Taskbar Settings / Select which items appear on the taskbar" window, it returns to the hidden icons popup menu the next time I log in. In that Taskar settings menu window I can see two icons for Dropbox, one of which I think is a phantom one associated with the previous installed version, and I suspect of causing the problem."
I have been working round the problem by downloading the manual installer and running it after every automatic update. That seemed to make a better job of cleaning up after the previous version than the automatic update did.
At this release the problem appears to have been resolved! It's taken quite a few months. and I've never had an acknowledgement of the existence of the problem. What's the point of being a beta tester if there's no feedback
