Hello!
I have found exactly the bug I have (Bug 1610305) but is closed saying it is not Mozilla-related. I still believe it is related to Thunderbird. Here is how I fix it on my system (Debian 10 MATE).
- Update Thunderbird
- Open Thunderbird.
- Open Terminal, type xprop WM_CLASS
- When cursor becomes a cross, move it over Thunderbird window and click. Following output is received in Terminal:
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Mail", "thunderbird" - Go to /user/share/applications, open thunderbird.desktop in text editor.
- Modify 13th row “StartupWMClass=Thunderbird” to “StartupWMClass=thunderbird”.
- Save thunderbird.desktop.
- Profit!
It reappears after every update.
As you see, nothing I do above is plank-related. The second icon appears due to a difference in name capitalization used in WM_CLASS and StartupWMClass in thunderbird.desktop.
Regards,
Pavel.
