Similar bug affects me and puts a hit on performance. When speaking in discord there is supposed to be an icon change and logs spam me with [AppIndicatorSupport-FATAL] unable to lookup icon for discord1_40.

Whenever this happens and I'm playing Overwatch, the game suffers from a lot of stuttering, currently making it unusable to use regular ubuntu gnome session with gaming and discord. Works fine in vanilla gnome session without the indicator extension.

Didn't have a problem with this in 19.04, but after upgrading to 19.10 it's back...

Too quick on that one, was not fixed just by reinstalling gnome-shell-extension-appindicator. Now i also noticed that this isn't just in the game, the whole desktop freezes for a moment when talking in discord if the appindicator package is installed.
Easily reproduced by joining a voice channel in discord and just doing stuff in the gnome ui, watching a video or whatever while talking. Didn't notice before since gnome performance wasn't that good by itself up until now.

This is pretty bad since it leaves no choice but to uninstall gnome-shell-extension-appindicator and loosing that functionality if people wants to use discord on ubuntu.

This is also reported on the extensions github page:
