I usually keep three apps shown to the left of dozer, like below

dropbox appear

but from time to time, not often, one of them will get hidden into drozer automatically

dropbox disappeared

it seems like dropbox is the only that behaves this way, regardless of where I put it, to the left or the right of drozer dot.

This is to do with the preferred placement of the icons you are referring to.

Some background:

  • For each icon the parent app stores the x-position it would prefer to be displayed at.
  • This position is usually what you last set it to, either directly by arranging the icon or indirectly by arranging the icons either side of it.
  • The position is not guaranteed as other icons from other apps may prefer the same position.
  • macOS displays the icons in an order it arrives at after resolving conflicts

So, if the preferred placement is to the right of your Dozer-hide-dot then it will appear by default, if it is to the left then it will be hidden by default.

Fixing this relies on #69 and we are trying to come up with a solution to get Dozer to manage all of the icon placements so it can guarantee positions and behaviour.

Thanks for reporting!
