Description

When I minimize the app to tray, the KeePassHTTP browser extension (firefox and chrome) doesn't work, no autofill. It works if I do the usual minimize of the window or if the window is open. I'm on Windows.

To Reproduce

  1. Minimize app to system tray (window's close button)
  2. Go to a login URL, on firefox or chrome (which is using KeePassHTTP)
  3. The fields are not being autofilled

Research direction
Examine the Electron main process code that handles window minimize and tray events. Look for how KeePassHTTP server (likely a background process) is tied to window visibility. Check if the server stops when window is hidden to tray. Relevant files might be in 'app/' directory for tray handling and 'src/' for KeePassHTTP. The issue comments suggest testing on different OS. Ensure to test on Windows as reported.
