Reproduction Steps

1. Launch Insomnia with the following flags: --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

Additional Information

I'm running on a HiDPI display, so using XWayland as a rendering backend makes the UI really blurry, hence the draw towards using Wayland rendering. This works under other Electron applications I've used (Discord, Slack, Signal).

Native Wayland support came with Electron 12, Insomnia is currently at Electron 11. Related PR: #4160

Hi folks! Sorry for long wait, and thank you for reporting this issue!

We upgraded Insomnia to Electron 17 on version 2022.2.0.

Recently we merged @matthew-jones-uk's PR that has a particular fix for this issue by upgrading to electron 17.3.1.

It should be included tomorrow in our upcoming beta release (2022.3.0-beta.4). Let us know if you still have issues with that release once it's out.

I've tried out this feature just now and now see Insomnia in all its HPDI glory - thanks!

However, the window doesn't have any window borders and I cannot move it.

I'm starting Insomnia like this:

 /opt/Insomnia/insomnia --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

Am I missing a flag? Is anyone else experiencing this?
