But it does happen on Ubuntu.

Here comes that report. To reproduce:
1. Download the latest Ubuntu (21.04, live stick is enough).
2. Download and open Joplin (https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/download/v1.7.11/Joplin-1.7.11.AppImage), which is an app that uses Electron and therefore libappindicator.
3. In the Options under Application enable "Show tray icon", which should show up at the top right of the screen.
4. Left-click on the icon. Observe how the context menu opens, just like with a right click, even though the application should open the main window instead (https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/80b16dd17e227e3f538aa221d7b6cc2d81688e72/packages/app-desktop/ElectronAppWrapper.ts#L297-L299), and indeed it does so under Windows for example.
