Background color does not cover whole window on resize

[levrik]

• Electron version: (<=)? 1.6.6 - 1.7.2
• Operating system: Windows 10 1703

Expected behavior

The red background color (set as option on the BrowserWindow) covers the whole window on resize.
I remember that behaviour from the last time I worked with Electron. Also noticed that issue in the current VS Code version (1.12.2).

Actual behavior

How to reproduce

https://gist.github.com/levrik/e4a15c3a8e65ab484e9de00092fa4f43 or for example VS Code 1.12.2

Friendly ping.

We are no longer implementing bugfixes for versions of Electron <= 1.7.x, so I'm going to close this issue but if it is still persisting in more recent versions of Electron we can certainly reopen it!

@MarshallOfSound I see the same behaviour with Electron 3.0.x.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Electron better.

The version of Electron you reported this on has been superseded by newer releases.

If you're still experiencing this issue in Electron v4.2.x or later, please add a comment specifying the version you're testing with and any other new information that a maintainer trying to reproduce the issue should know.

I'm setting the blocked/need-info label for the above reasons. This issue will be closed 7 days from now if there is no response.

Thanks in advance! Your help is appreciated.

Reproduces with Electron 6.x

Some additional details. When resizing quickly, I see 3 different colours:

1. The HTML body's background color
2. The BrowserWindow.backgroundColor color
3. Black

This issue is more than 3 years old.

I think it is the problem of chromium, try to open your chrome and resize the window and you will see the same thing.

I don't think we can do much about this. Both Chrome and Edge have the same issue.
