Requires xvfb-run (not present on this machine — not executed locally). Run with: sudo apt install xvfb && npm run smoke:hud-x11
The Linux tray-click path (focusOrCreateMainWindow) destroyed and recreated the HUD whenever it was unfocused. A window hidden via the Wayland hide() workaround is never focused, so restoring it from the tray killed the renderer — and with it any in-flight recording (MediaRecorder lives in the HUD renderer) — while the fresh renderer started idle and main kept recording=true in the tray. Gate the destroy/recreate focus workaround to windows the user can currently see (visible and not minimized); hidden/minimized windows restore through show(), the same path the tray menu items use.

Description
Fixes two HUD (recording overlay) bugs that occur on Linux/Wayland sessions (e.g. Hyprland, GNOME-Wayland, KDE-Wayland):
side="top"inside that window, so menus get clipped by the window bounds.BrowserWindow.minimize(), which is only advisory on Wayland and ignored by compositors for always-on-top windows. Additionally, restoring the HUD from the tray during an active recording could hit a Linux focus workaround that destroyed and recreated the window, silently killing the MediaRecorder mid-recording.All changes are strictly gated to Wayland sessions (
isWaylandSession:XDG_SESSION_TYPE === "wayland"orWAYLAND_DISPLAYset). Windows, macOS and Linux/X11 keep byte-for-byte the current behavior, enforced by unit tests.Motivation
On Wayland, Electron cannot reposition a window (
setBoundsx/y is ignored) and bothsetIgnoreMouseEventsandgetCursorScreenPointare non-functional (electron#51808). A previous approach that resized the HUD at runtime was unstable for this reason and was reverted. This PR instead:minimize()withhide()only on Wayland; restore already exists via the tray (Show Controls).Type of Change
Related Issue(s)
None filed; reported from a Hyprland (Wayland) environment.
Screenshots / Video
The change is behavioral (window sizing / hide-restore); steps to reproduce visually are in the Testing Guide below.
Testing Guide
Automated:
npx vitest run electron/(432 tests passing, including new suites forhudOverlaySession,hudOverlayWindowActionsandhudOverlayBounds). An X11-equivalence smoke test was added (npm run smoke:hud-x11); it requiresxvfb-run(sudo apt install xvfb) — it has not been executed on the author's machine (Wayland-only) but the X11 path is additionally pinned by unit tests asserting compact bounds +minimize().Manual (Wayland, e.g. Hyprland):
hyprctl clients), anchored to the bottom, toolbar unaffected.X11 / Windows / macOS: no behavior change — HUD stays compact 160px, − minimizes, tray restore unchanged.
