@JakubSteplowski no, it’s just a race condition between drawing the tooltip and making the window disappear using the keyboard. As I mentioned over in #2874:

As the original Chromium issue suggests, it’s a combination of using a tooltip and triggering a certain sequence of window messages (which can occur when you force the window to minimize) that reproduces this.

Why it works correctly and looks different on Atom and Visual Studio Code?

@JakubSteplowski both of these apps use the default Windows theme when drawing the window menu. Desktop instead hides this chrome and draws it’s own menu to fit better with the dark toolbar (Electron doesn’t support this out of the box).
