Electron Version

19.0.8

What operating system are you using?

Windows

Operating System Version

Windows 11 21H2

What arch are you using?

x64

Last Known Working Electron version

No response

Expected Behavior

Steady Application window.

Actual Behavior

When typing in the ueli window when custom scaling is set, every keystroke moves the window up left diagonally by one pixel. I have experienced this with a scaling of 110%, but other users have had it with other values set. When using fixed system values like 125%, the issue does not seem to appear.

Testcase Gist URL

No response

Additional Information

This bug was forwarded from an issue that appeared in ueli: oliverschwendener/ueli#515
It has appeared to me myself and also to other users of ueli, and as @oliverschwendener has pointed out, it appears to be an electron bug that has not been reported yet.

Thanks for reporting this issue! Would it be possible for you to make a standalone testcase with only the code necessary to reproduce the issue? For example, Electron Fiddle is a great tool for making small test cases and makes it easy to publish your test case to a gist that Electron maintainers can use.

Stand-alone test cases make fixing issues go more smoothly: it ensure everyone's looking at the same issue, it removes all unnecessary variables from the equation, and it can also provide the basis for automated regression tests.

I'm adding the blocked/need-repro label for this reason. After you make a test case, please link to it in a followup comment.

Thanks in advance!

@VerteDinde Here is a repo with instructions on how to reproduce the issue: https://github.com/oliverschwendener/electron-moving-window-bug

To me, it seems like the issue is caused by the BrowserWindow.setSize() method.

Bump - Haven't tested it myself, but since I've heard nothing from this yet, I'm assuming it's still open.

[oliverschwendener]

I have updated the demo repository to the latest electron version, but I have to quickly check if this is still the problem with electron 24.

[oliverschwendener]

I can confirm that this is still an issue with electron 24. Please check the repository that I mentioned above to reproduce it.
