Persistent taskbar NotifyIcon in top left corner

[C0gwh33l]

OS : Win 11
Version latest to date : 1.1.29

Issue im dealing with is whenever a multimonitor (laptop + primary monitor) is being used the upper left corner of my primary monitor gets a SyncTrayzor howerover trayicon that is persistent of wether i mouseover it on the left upper corner and leaves only if moused over on the taskbar, i have yet to confirm wether this is an issue with returning from hibernation but it seems to be specifically aimed at SyncTrayzor

I came to report the same issue. Although for me it's not limited to a multi-monitor setup.

OS: Win 11 / Win 10
Version: 1.1.29

On my (single-monitor) Win 11 machine, whenever I move the mouse cursor across the system tray area there is a fifty-fifty chance that the simple NotifyIcon pops up in the very top left corner.

It will only go away if you move the cursor to the SyncTrayzor system tray icon again.

I do have the same issue on a Win 10 machine too although on that machine it happens quite rarely. I can still reproduce it reliably if hover my mouse around the tray icon for a while. But it's more like a 10% chance and rarely happens in everyday practice.

What is expected behavior:
The notify icon only pops up when the cursor sits above the SyncTrayzor tray icon, sits right next to the cursor and most importantly disappears as soon as the mouse moves away.

Actual behavior:
It randomly appears in the top left corner and stays there on top of everything else indefinitely.

Thoughts:
I've been digging into the code a little bit and might have found something that could be the issue.

We're using the Hardcodet.Wpf.TaskbarNotification library version 1.0.8 for the popup, which was last updated in 2016 - seems to be abandoned by the original dev.
Fortunately, it was picked up by someone and is still in development here https://github.com/hardcodet/wpf-notifyicon
So maybe it's as easy as to update this to the latest version 1.1.0.

@C0gwh33l maybe you want to generalize the title to something like: "Persistent taskbar NotifyIcon in top left corner"
since I believe we're having the same issue and it's not limited to the multi-monitor setup.
(Or if you want, I can move my post to a dedicated issue)

changed title to reflect issue, and as documented above the issue is the same, regardless of monitor amount on a sole laptop this is reproduced aswell
