@aayandre @j-f1 @JakubSteplowski anyway, we’ve got an eye on this issue anyway and we’re making noise about it upstream to indicate that it’s affecting our users. Thanks for the report!

@aayandre @JakubSteplowski you can follow along with the upstream issue https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/9943 which links off to the Chromium bug that goes into some more detail.

What do the maintainers think about 🔥ing the tooltips on the close/minimize/maximize buttons?

Speaking for myself here, I’m not sure it’s worth removing them completely. Here’s my thinking:

these tooltips are a common feature of Windows apps, and we might get subsequent reports about the lack of tooltips
the impact of this is relatively minor (yes, it’s a nuisance, but it doesn’t affect data)
it can be worked around (restore the window to gain control of the tooltip again)
