workrave.exe automatically sandbox on launch even if added to trusted files[NBZ]

When I add workrave.exe to trusted files, exit from workrave and launch it again, it is automatically sandboxed.

The bug/issue

  1. What you did: I launched Workrave manually from the Start menu, got the alert, clicked ‘Dont’t isolate again’, exited Workrave and launched for the second time from Start menu,
  2. What actually happened or you actually saw: Sandboxing alert was given again.
  3. What you expected to happen or see: The workrave should launch without sandboxing when added to trusted files.
  4. How you tried to fix it & what happened: removed from unrecognized files, ensured that it was already in trustred files (!!!) and rebooted, same behavior
  5. If its an application compatibility problem have you tried the application fixes here?: not a compatibility issue, Workrave works normal, but exiting from it leaves a dangling tray icon (which is removed when hovering over it), workrave may be crashing on exit.
  6. Details & exact version of any application (execpt CIS) involved with download link: Worksrave 1.9.3. Download Workrave · Workrave
  7. Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so exact steps to make it happen: always reproducible.
  8. Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons): I cannot submit it for analysis as the binary is too large.
