Expected Behavior
When "Always minimise to system tray instead of task bar" is enabled, and user is re-opening OBS not through the system tray, but through other means (for example spotlight search) — full OBS window with UI SHOULD open.
Current Behavior
When "Always minimise to system tray instead of task bar" is enabled, and user is re-opening OBS not through the system tray, but through other means (for example spotlight search) — full OBS window with UI DOESN'T open, instead showing an empty window.
