I've been using jedit for a few years. I installed it (not recently) with server mode so that jedit-server starts each time my OS starts.

I'm using windows 7 and java 1.8.0\_111 and I recently noticed the random lack of jedit system tray icon. By random I mean from time to time (maybe one out of ten times, no obvious periodicity), after windows starts, the system tray icon is not visible.

I usually click on the system tray icon to open a new jedit window. As the system tray icon was missing I tried to launch it manually: programs > jedit > jedit and no window was displayed.

I checked processes and found that the jvm is actually launched but no window is displayed, very odd.

Is there someone with the same issue, a fix or a workaround?

FYI, I did not change jedit or java version recently.
