some Window events won't fire if you open remote url

NWJS Version : nwjs-sdk-v0.40.0-win-x64 Operating System : Windows 7

Expected behavior

Events like resize, move or loaded of Window should be emitted on all windows every time the event happens.

Actual behavior

Events are emitted only in window with local file (like test.html). Events aren’t emitted if you open remote url (like http://example.com).

How to reproduce

main.js

nw.Window.open('test.html', {}, function(win) {
	win.on("resize", function(w, h) {
		win.window.console.log("w, h",  w, h);
	});
});


nw.Window.open('http://example.com', {}, function(win) {
	win.on("resize", function(w, h) {
		win.window.console.log("w, h",  w, h);
	});
});

test.html

test

package.json

{
  "name": "eventstest",
  "main": "main.js"
}

The Window with test.html emits the resize event every time you resize it. The Window with http://example.com doesn’t. Same behavior can be observed with some other events.

For example the loaded event was working fire in version nwjs-sdk-v0.37.4-win-ia32, but it’s emitted only sometimes in windows with remote url and nwjs-sdk-v0.40.0-win-x64.

Good to know that. Closing this issue for now and please file a new one of the window object issue.

It looks like that there are still some issues with the “close” event on windows with remote url. I’m having a problem receiving the “close” event under the NW2 mode (it works if I use --disable-features=nw2).

The breaking point is the 0.42.4 version where the NW2 mode has been introduced. Should I create a new issue for this problem?

closing both windows should produce a message in the log.txt, but it only does for the local file
