alt Hacker NewsI have never seen anyone with enough menu bar icons to have them hide, nor have I known anyone who ran into that problem. It’s a bug that should be fixed, but I just don’t think it’s as big of a deal as it’s made out to be.

Did we read the same article? It literally drove them to create a new application.

"nor have I known anyone who ran into that problem"
Why on earth would people tell you that?

It only takes like 6 extra apps for items to start being hidden, it's really not that rare of an occurrence.

"I don't have any experience with that problem, it follows that no-one has that problem".
Just because you have never personally seen a bug occur doesn't mean it isn't a problem.
This very article is about how Tailscale frequently gets reports of them being hidden.
And I personally have had the icons hidden. My work laptop has a lot of stuff running on it (much of it is mandatory: VPN, custom company processes, Google Drive, etc) and combined with my personal preferred programs (f.lux, etc) it occasionally hits the limit and goes under the notch.
