Comment 18 for bug 1249663

Still ongoing...

I just did a fresh install of 16.04 and the same issue. "Indicator Applet Complete"
It seems to just crash with the option to restore it. In my case I can restore it. Mine is at the bottom, I swapped the top with the bottom bar. I have noticed that with the bars in "autohide" it seems that if there is activity of the bar opening and closing it will cause the crash faster than a crash with no activity.
Apparently this looks to be an issue that can't be fixed since it does go back a few versions of Ubuntu with Flashback (Metacity).
