NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture on macOS is not working with Signal
Using a supported version?
- [X] I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
- [X] I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.
Overall summary
With the setting NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture enabled the user is able to drag any window at any cursor position via CTRL+ALT+Mouse1.
This doesn't seem to work with current Signal versions.
Steps to reproduce
defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true- restart
- See that you can drag any window with CTRL+ALT+Mouse1 at any cursor position
- See that this doesn't work with Signal
Expected result
it works like other macOS windows
Actual result
the mouse click just gets registered as a normal mouse click

@marcolaux appears to be an issue with Electron. Did this work in previous Signal versions?

It looks like it - thanks for the hint.
It indeed worked in previous versions and I only noticed it recently. I use the gesture regularly.
Other apps have the same issue with newer Electron versions I have been told.
You seem to have most context on the issue, could you report it upstream, please? Thank you!

FWIW I've added a comment confirming the issue and demoing differences in behavior between electron and non-electron apps for the gesture.
@indutny-signal @trevor-signal It seems to be fixed with Electron 34. Signal 7.44.0 behaves correctly again (also other apps I tested with Electron 34)
