Originally created by @mica on GitHub (Oct 13, 2016).

I would be nice if double-clicking on the Windows notification area icon would open the app, rather than just quickly open then close it.

You could keep the usual single-click-to-open behaviour, but just ignore the second click if it occurs within a few hundred milliseconds of the first.

This throws me off almost every time I go to open qBittorrent. It's probably the only app I've encountered that behaves this way.

Faulty mouse? What's wrong with single click?

Point is, either a single-click or a double-click should open the app. As is, double-click does nothing (or opens/closes so quickly as to effectively do nothing), which is contrary to expected behavior, and every app I've encountered.

And no, nothing wrong with the mouse. Just the behavior of the app. Give it a try.
