VirtualHere client 5.3.9 icon missing from system menu bar on macOS 12.6

I noticed sometime after upgrading my macOS to 12.6 and my VirtualHere client to 5.3.9 on my 2021 M1 MacBook Pro that I can no longer see the VirtualHere client icon in the Mac system menu bar, so I can't un-minimize the client GUI after I click the red "x" button in the client GUI (and the yellow "-" icon in the client GUI, which I understand some macOS apps use for minimizing, is also not clickable). Do you have any ideas for why that might be happening?

As a workaround, I can run `ps aux | grep VirtualHere` in my Terminal to identify the process ID of VirtualHereUniversal.app, kill it by running `kill `, and then relaunch it from my Applications folder to restore the client GUI.

VirtualHere server 4.4.4 on the same machine doesn't seem to have this problem - I can still see the server icon in the system menu bar, minimize the server GUI by clicking the "Minimize" button, and restore it by clicking the server icon in the menu bar and then clicking "Show".

I just tried 5.3.9 on 12.5/12.6 and 13 beta without any issue both as a service and also just plain GUI. It might be something specific with your mac.

Are you running the client as a service or just normally?

Ah I think you're right, I plugged in an external monitor today and I was able to see the client icon on that monitor but not on my laptop's built-in screen. I think the issue was that I had so many menu bar icons that the built-in screen couldn't show them all, and since I upgraded my client recently the icon seemed to be moved to the far-left side of the menu bar which caused it to be hidden. By holding CMD and clicking and dragging the icon on the external monitor I was able to move it further to the right in the menu bar so that it is no longer hidden on my laptop's built-in screen. Thanks for your help and sorry for the false alarm!
