Had problem that battery icon disappears while clicking right on it to add remaining battery time.
After a while the icon returns with this crash message.
For now, it is working ok.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This problem persists in 18.04 daily

this is happening in 18.04 daily for me too

My indicator applet vanished and couldn't be reloaded, which disabled sound completely. I use my laptop to perform a college radio show, and this made it impossible today. Fortunately, the station has a computer, so I used YouTube to play the Kinks live.

Still...

I am getting this under Ubuntu 20.04 - is this still not fixed (apparently almost 4 years old)?
Getting a crash notification quite often (does not matter which of the indicator applets I use), this makes using mate so annoying as it being nearly unusable.

How can I get the crash details to see if my crashes are actually the same as the ones described in here?

Fix via mate-indicator-applet 1.26.0-1 introduced in Ubuntu MATE 21.10
