[Bug]: On Wayland closing apps to the system tray, then reopening them makes the app forget which monitor it was previously opened on (Signal, ProtonVPN, MullvadVPN)

Expected Behavior

  • When closing these apps they normally stay open as system tray icons to allow easily monitoring and reopening them.
  • When using a PC with multiple physical monitors, reopening these apps from the system tray should remember which monitor it was last opened on.

Tested on Signal Desktop, ProtonVPN and MullvadVPN. On a Wayland desktop, opening these apps in Electron Wayland mode --ozone-platform=wayland.

Actual Behavior

Reopening these apps from the system tray forgets which monitor it was last opened on. It seems to default to the primary monitor.

Thanks for reporting this and helping to make Electron better!

Because of time constraints, triaging code with third-party dependencies is usually not feasible for a small team like Electron's.

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 follow-up comment.

Thanks in advance! Your help is appreciated.

We haven't gotten a response to our questions in our comment above. With only the information that is currently in the issue, we don't have enough information to take action. In this event, i'm going to go ahead and close this but can reopen should you follow up with more info!
