Near the volume icon there appear two icons, both are flameshot.
I didn’t see those icons earlier, because they are in grey colour 
without anything on them, so they don’t stand out.

I don’t know why two instead of one, but it doesn’t matter.
It works, as you described, and that’s the most important.

thanks very much

Kind regards

Gottfried
