Expected Behavior

tray.getBounds() should return current bounds when called shortly after the initialisation of the Tray. If this is not possible then the tray instance should emit a ready event so that we know when getBounds() will return the correct bounds.

Actual Behavior

tray.getBounds() returns an incorrect value until some arbitrary time has passed. In my testcase it takes approx 500ms for the correct value to be returned.

Additional Information

Output of my test case above. Only setTimeout:500 is correct.

Electron v21.1.0 started.
sync { x: 0, y: 956, width: 16, height: 36 }
setImmediate { x: 0, y: 956, width: 16, height: 36 }
setTimeout:50 { x: 0, y: 956, width: 16, height: 36 }
setTimeout:500 { x: 931, y: 0, width: 16, height: 36 }

This is probably the same bug as reported in #33515.

Just to note: there's some additional details/investigation into the cause of this in #36031, which I closed as a duplicate of this issue.

@clavin Is there any update on this issue? I'm facing it too. Here's some information to help out with debugging:

Expected Behaviour: trayIcon.getBounds() should return the correct values for x, and y which are needed for me to set my window position correctly w.r.t. the tray icon.

Extended Context: I checked getting these bound values using setTimeout too. Even after 10 * 1000 (10 seconds) of delay, the values are incorrect.

System:

Electron Version: 26.2.1
OS: Mac OS
OS Version: Sonoma (14.0)
Arch: arm64 (Apple Silicon)

Values:

trayIcon.getBounds() = { x: 0, y: 900, width: 32, height: 24 }
mainWindow.getBounds() = { x: 520, y: 287, width: 400, height: 327 }
app.isPackaged = false
