setSize() multiple times stop working after two calls

[justduy]

• Electron Version:
  • 4.0.1
• Operating System:
  • Windwos 10

Expected Behavior

Setting BrowserWindow size via .setSize() sets size, in disregard of how many times called, when call through a globalShortcut.register().

Actual Behavior

Window is set successfully twice, but upon the last time it will not set window size.

To Reproduce/ Code

  globalShortcut.register("Shift+L", () => {
    isMinimized ? win.setSize(1000, 700) : win.setSize(700, 300);
    isMinimized = !isMinimized;
  });

EDIT: Not sure if helpful:

     win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 1000, height: 700, resizable: false });
     win.loadURL("someUrl"); 
     var isMinimized = false;

Cannot reproduce on macOS, someone on Windows will have to try verify this

I'm sorry, Ik this discussion is closed but I had this problem too and solved it by adding resizable to true then launch the set size then set resizable to false again, IDK why but the set-size function doesn't work more than 2 times unless resizable is set to true.

• mainWindow.resizable = true;
• mainWindow.setSize(x, y);
• mainWindow.resizable = false;

Hope anyone who reads this understands what I mean :)

I had this problem too and solved it by adding resizable as a function:

• mainWindow.setResizable(true);
• mainWindow.setSize(width,height)
• mainWindow.setResizable(false);

Is there a way that you can toggle between three different window sizes in electron? I am trying with setSize but its not working. I am also trying to manipulate the functionality of minimize button but that is also not working.
