System tray menu: "Show/Hide" item fails to hide #3352

- Activate the "Show/Hide" element

CopyQ's main window is hidden.

Fix hiding the main window from tray menu

Thanks for the report and the help in other issues! 👍
Looks like the problem is that on some systems, the main window is inactive when selecting an action from tray menu, but Show/Hide would show and raise the window in such case. This is expected behavior from scripts, but it seems unexpected from GUI. Fixing in #3356.

Thanks to you Lukas, I confirm this is fixed in 13.0.0-101-gb8b0493e.
For what it's worth, if the main window is open, Show/Hide will close it, even if it is already hidden (by other windows). In other words, it neither shows nor really hides. So Open/Close may be a more accurate label.
