Description:
The default config file generated by i3-wm 4.11 has the line `tray_output primary` in bar{}. Apparently it is no longer appropriate in 4.12 and a newly generated config file will not have that line anymore.

The problem is, if one upgraded to 4.12 but left that line in the config file, tray icons will no longer show up unless the xorg output is set as primary, even when only one output is connected. Removing the line will fix the problem. I am experience this with deluge.

So I file this bug report for the record and recommend that a post upgrade message to be added about it.
This task depends upon

Sounds like something that belongs in the Wiki.
