Nightly does not work with ozone (wayland native)

Steps to reproduce

Stable supports running in wayland native like this: element-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland. Doing the same with element-desktop-nightly apparently does not. Maybe because bundles its own electron (assumption based on no dependency in the pkg)?

This is on sway 1.6.1.

What happened?

What did you expect?

Operating system

Application version

Element Nightly version: 2021090301 Olm version: 3.2.3

How did you install the app?

Homeserver

Ah, great thanks for the explanation! Let’s assume this is fixed now. Let me know if you ever see this again

It does seem to work in principle now. I’m noticing a last small problem: when running with ozone, the window_properties field is missing. This contains a bunch of meta info to identify the program and is commonly used to e.g. assign apps to fixed workspaces. Consequently my condition that moves windows with class beginning in Element to a certain workspace. get_tree with ozone:
