Issue Details

Electron Version: 10.1.1
Operating System: macOS 10.15
Last Known Working Electron version: None

Actual Behavior

Vibrancy and transparency is lost after refreshing (⌘ R) when app.allowRendererProcessReuse = false

This also happens in certain unknown cases without refreshing.

It doesn't happen when app.allowRendererProcessReuse = true

Screencast

To Reproduce

main.js:

const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron')

app.allowRendererProcessReuse = false

function createWindow () {
  const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    // titleBarStyle: 'hiddenInset',
    // vibrancy: 'sidebar',
    transparent: true,
    backgroundColor: '#00000000',
    webPreferences: {
      nodeIntegration: true
    }
  })
  mainWindow.loadFile('index.html')
}
app.on('ready', createWindow)

app.on('window-all-closed', function () {
  if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
    app.quit()
  }
})

app.on('activate', function () {
  if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) {
    createWindow()
  }
})

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <style>
      html { -webkit-app-region: drag; height: 100% }
      body { margin: 2em }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    We are using Node.js <script>document.write(process.versions.node)</script>,
    Chromium <script>document.write(process.versions.chrome)</script>,
    and Electron <script>document.write(process.versions.electron)</script>.
  </body>
</html>

Additional Information

Likely related to #8310.

I'd keep allowRendererProcessReuse = true but then I encounter #25311
