Linux, Wayland: Window size grows when hidden and re-opened

[adamthiede]

Using a supported version?

• I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
• I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Overall summary

when running signal with signal-desktop --use-tray-icon --ozone-platform-hint=auto (on a wayland desktop, so the same as --ozone-platform=wayland) the signal desktop window grows a little bit every time it's hidden and re opened.

Screencast.From.2024-11-16.14-12-28.webm

Steps to reproduce

1. Run signal-desktop --use-tray-icon --ozone-platform-hint=auto on a Wayland session (i.e. GNOME Wayland)
2. Hide and show the application from the tray icon repeatedly
3. Watch the window grow in size

Expected result

Ideally the window should stay the same size.

Actual result

The window does not stay the same size.

The last Electron version with which this wasn't an issue is 31.3.1. Building Signal with that version of Electron "fixes" this.
