Window cannot be resized #1487

ros-financial-com · 2024-11-20T09:31:55Z

After the update to v1.11.5, the window cannot be resized anymore. It can only be used in a preset size (too small for many use cases) or in full screen.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Start fresh session.
Move mouse pointer to any edge or corner of the Teams window.
The mouse pointer does not change to the expected "icon" (like the "corner" or "edge" icon) and the size cannot be changed.

Expected behavior
When moving the mouse pointer to any edge or corner of the Teams window, the mouse pointer should indicate that here, the size can be changed and the window size should be adjustable.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Linux 6.11.9-arch1-1 Zoomclick #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun, 17 Nov 2024 16:06:17 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Installation package: flatpak
Version: 1.11.5
Gnome-shell 47.1-1, Wayland, electron 32.2.5-1 and 33.2.0-1

Additional context
While the version from flatpak shows this behaviour, the one from the Arch Linux repository appears not to be affected and works as expected.

alfsch · 2024-11-20T10:21:42Z

I have this troubles with the flatpak version on ubunut 24.04 with wayland, too.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-11-20T11:42:38Z

Hello @ros-financial-com and @alfsch, thanks for reporting.

Can you check if the previous version still works? flatpak and snap can be a pain with wayland, and they are tricky to find the reasons as they don't tend to be easy to reproduce.

alfsch · 2024-11-20T12:15:28Z

I downgraded with this command:

 sudo flatpak update \
      --commit=ed6e779dd7935b309daa4643e2423ab26613874ee401a238dc3296f931b0526a com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux

to this version:

    Commit: ed6e779dd7935b309daa4643e2423ab26613874ee401a238dc3296f931b0526a
   Subject: Update teams-for-linux module (72e25526)
      Date: 2024-11-15 06:15:23 +0000

now resizing of teams application window is possible without problems.

treizexiii · 2024-11-20T15:43:09Z

hi! I got the same problem with the last version of flatpak on fedora with wayland.
@alfsch 's solution solves it.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-11-20T20:36:01Z

My suspicion is this PR I merged the other day. flathub/com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux#90

Zeitsperre · 2024-11-20T21:15:50Z

Just updated to the latest stable flatpak (was previously using the Wayland testing branch) and I am seeing no problems at all. Window is responsive to resizing and content is scaling/reorienting as needed.

Running on openSUSE Tumbleweed, KDE Plasma 6.2.3 with kwin_wayland_wr.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-11-20T21:15:53Z

actually, it might be this one from electron electron/electron#44543 . That sound more plausible

royborgen · 2024-11-25T09:31:01Z

Seeing the same issue on Debian Testing. Reverting back to previous flatpak app version as mentoned by @alfsch fixed the issue

martinlillebo · 2024-11-27T12:20:07Z

For my laptop (ThinkBook 15 G2 ITL running Debian 12.8), the specific version that @alfsch mentioned didn't help. But an older one did the trick. I'm running x11 instead of Wayland, maybe that's relevant.

Step-by-step instruction for dummies like me:

See the full commit list like this: flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux
"Update" to one of the previous versions: sudo flatpak update --commit=YOUR_CHOSEN_COMMIT_HASH com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux
In my case, I picked a random older version, the one from 2024-09-11, which had a working window resizing: sudo flatpak update --commit=2edae7411b74b27e91a8c18cc0ebc855887abc4d9c4979d145d37138d11da160 com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux

This doesn't solve the problem for @IsmaelMartinez of course, but at least it lets people avoid the bleeding edge while we wait for rescue... :)

Btw Ismael - thank you for maintaining this flatpak in general. It was a key piece that let me switch over to Linux full-time

stephzero1 · 2024-11-28T10:42:04Z

Same here (wayland), i don't want to downgrade but i found a work around to resize:

ALT + F8 (on Gnome) to resize window via keyboard
left/up/right/down arrow key to resize

Better then nothing while waiting for the fix

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-11-30T09:59:37Z

Can some of you check the pre release 1.12.3? Upgraded the electron version and had some "draggable" fixes that might fix this (more of a wish, than anything)

royborgen · 2024-11-30T14:13:13Z

Can the flatpak be fetched somehow? If so, I can give it a go

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-11-30T20:18:21Z

Can the flatpak be fetched somehow? If so, I can give it a go

flatpak only get the latest version, and I only push it there and snap when is deemed stable, as there is quite a lot of people using this. Last time I checked more than 500K in flathub (but their numbers can be misleading as some updates count as install, and I don't know the ratio).

It is available in the majority of package managers https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux/releases/tag/v1.12.3 (even in windows and Mac as a few people randomly asked for it)

royborgen · 2024-11-30T20:37:52Z

tested the .deb, resizing works fine there

Hi, I tried the .Appimage version of the 1.12.3 pre-release now. Works fine with resizing 👍

phreed · 2024-12-05T17:20:04Z

Here is another application with the same issue:
https://github.com/flathub/im.riot.Riot/blob/d32d14a402665d0c7591a3ff8ce731a1c713a7d1/element.sh

So I am guessing the problem is around here:

teams-for-linux/app/index.js

Lines 102 to 112 in 0ed99c0

    
           // Wayland 
        
           if (process.env.XDG_SESSION_TYPE === 'wayland') { 
        
           	console.info('Running under Wayland, switching to PipeWire...'); 
        
           	const features = app.commandLine.hasSwitch('enable-features') ? app.commandLine.getSwitchValue('enable-features').split(',') : []; 
        
           	if (!features.includes('WebRTCPipeWireCapturer')) 
        
           		features.push('WebRTCPipeWireCapturer'); 
        
           	app.commandLine.appendSwitch('enable-features', features.join(',')); 
        
           	app.commandLine.appendSwitch('use-fake-ui-for-media-stream'); 
        
           }

royborgen · 2024-12-06T00:00:42Z

Did some further testing and found a workaround that lets us use the latest flatpak with window resizing working:

If you use flatseal and disable Socket Wayland windowing system:

and change environment variable ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto to ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=x11

Now resizing should work.

alfsch · 2024-12-06T07:26:15Z

With env var
ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=x11
set, teams is running in Xwayland emulation which leads to blurry app window. Turning off native wayland isn't a soltuion for me, since it worked before without any troubles.

BR

BR

Your right, this will run the app inside flatpak in x11, and should not be a permanent fix. Wayland > X11.
As for the blurry window, I don't see this problem myself.

On a separate note, I had a meeting on teams today where I also shared my screen. This works fine as well. As I not to this, I am running Gnome on Wayland.

matheusgeres · 2024-12-07T12:58:28Z

Same here, I'm running Gnome on Wayland (Fedora 41) and I can't resize my window.

But the tip of @stephzero1 works for me resize!

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-12-09T16:18:34Z

I have mark 1.12.3 a release. Hopefully it doesn't break a lot of other things. Can you guys test it? People did test it before but never got an answer about custom backgrounds, so left it on the "fridge" for a bit longer.

As soon as there is a 1.12.3 release on flathub, I will test it 👍

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-12-10T17:07:18Z

It normally take a while... like a day or 2 to get out. Is out of our control. sorry.

royborgen · 2024-12-10T19:42:21Z

I see a version 1.12.3 is out on flathub. I tested it and unfortunately the problem is the same.
Disabling Wayland windowing system and setting ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=x11 is still a functioning workaround for me.

Workaround from #1487 (comment) still works

stephzero1 · 2024-12-11T08:55:28Z

1.12.3 here, still the same problem

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-12-11T09:02:27Z

Oh well, at least there is a workaround. I got 1.12.4 as pre-release that has other electron fixes, but again I am not sure what they have changed that broke this. I will keep updating electron and hopefully one of those will solve the problem. I thought Wayland was meant to simplify all of this, but I can tell you most of the issues in here are Wayland shenanigans.

I wonder if it is not related to the app but either flatpak version or other libs around wayland or similar.

But, there is no real change only 🤔 linting. Is it possible that the root cause is an flatpak build tool both projects updated at different points in time ?

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-12-15T10:04:52Z

can you all provide what version of chromium/chrome you got in your systems? it could be an update on chromium (not from the app) has fixed it for some of you.

alfsch · 2024-12-16T08:03:00Z

Hmm, today it doesn't work again :-(

I think it's somehow a race condition on initializing wayland in electron framework.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-12-17T05:31:23Z

If you don't have chromium installed, your system will be using the one the app provides. In the app tray icon, if you click on the About section, it should tell you the chromium version.

In theory that should be the version everyone uses (the one from the app), but somehow I have seen using the whatever version users got installed for others.

I tried also clearing the caches (quit clear storage). Still resizing don't work (except the workaround with Alt-F8).

Fedora with no Chromium installed. App tray icon offers "App Details" which opens the Software dialog with generic info about the app. Settings --> About Teams tells me The client version is 1415/24120100211 along with notices & legal info. Not sure where to find the chrome version.

Well, currently, I switched to Teams from the Arch repo, not using the Flatpak flavour. But I noticed the issue with Teams from Flatpak in Arch Linux with Gnome and wayland.

IsmaelMartinez · 2024-12-21T21:58:51Z

@ros-financial-com , does it work in arch? both Flatpak and snap tend to create the most issues, but flatpak tends to fail in some wayland configurations. I really don't know why but maybe looking at other flatpak apps might help
