What distro are you running? I feel like I've seen what you're describing for some time now, but I don't use that system tray applet much.

I just had a look at my Manjaro, and it seems I was wrong, my KDE doesn't have it, and I just did a system update today. So either MX Linux does package updates faster than Manjaro, or what you're seeing is a MX Linux thing.

This is mine. Although I'm sure I've seen that type of drop down menu in the now playing applet before, but I have a hard time figuring out where, since I've been using only KDE for about 4 years I think.
