Strange tray icon behavior in Fedora Silverblue

This is happening to me in Fedora 36 Silverblue, Gnome 42. I configured it to show up in the tray area (just like Bitwarden, for example). However, if I click the icon, I get the Gnome's settings user account window instead. Not only that. The icon only stays visible for around 10 seconds before vanishing. But, if I rigth-click the icon and click "Open 1Password" or "Open Quick Access" (before the icon dessapearing), both functions work and then the icon is gone again. Moreover, the icon stays in place if I keep the desktop app open. Once closed, the icon behaves as described. Hope this info is helpful.

1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: 2.3.2
OS Version: Linux Fedora 36 Silverblue

    Thanks to bootc and Mathleu_1P. I will try to answer both inquiries. But first, I am not in front of my main workstation at home (from were I sent my report). The one I'm using now also runs Fedora 36 but the "traditional" type, not Silverblue. In both instances I used Flatpak instead of rpm to install the 1Password app. I'm using the Tray Icons Reloaded extension in Gnome but found similar results with other tray icons extensions. All other tray icons, Ferdy, Bitwarden, Telegram and even Dropbox behave as expected. I did loose my Nextcloud tray icon since moving to F36, either Silverblue or rpm-based.
    In this rpm "vanilla" Fedora I'm typing right now, the tray icon does not crash (at least not so far after 30 plus minutes since launching the app), but otherwise shows the same behavior that in Silverblue. If I left-click, I get Gnome's settings user account window. If I right-click, I can open both the app and the Quick Access option. Tried several successful launchings of both the app and Quick Access and the tray icon remains in place.
    Perhaps because I installed with Flatpak, I don't have a ~/.config/!Password folder. In both rpm based Fedora and Silverblue I guess that should be placed in the /var directory.
    Hope this info is useful and will try to provide any further data you may require.

    Thanks for writing in Boricua3, this is definitely not the behaviour I would expect. I don't see this on my own system but I'm on Fedora 35. Do you have any other apps with tray icons? If so, do their tray icons behave correctly? Also, could you confirm how you installed 1Password (Flatpak, rpm in a toolbox, ...)?

    You seem to have the same behaviour as I just described in https://1password.community/discussion/128687/clicking-system-tray-applet-appindicator-opens-seahorse-passwords-and-keys-in-gnome#latest, except my icon doesn't vanish. I suspect 1Password must be crashing for you, separately to the issue of opening the wrong app when left-clicked...

    Is there anything in ~/.config/1Password/logs/1Password_rCURRENT.log that might indicate what's going on?
