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

  1. defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true
  2. restart
  3. See that you can drag any window with CTRL+ALT+Mouse1 at any cursor position
  4. 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
