There are a number of desktop apps (Chromium, Signal Desktop, Mattermost) in the last couple of monts that when they are displayed on my laptop screen with 85% scale-down resolution, begin to act very funny. Clicking in the app, makes them smaller, clicking on something highlights something else not… --- ## [Is there a policy for packaging Electron apps?](https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/is-there-a-policy-for-packaging-electron-apps/130001)

I don’t see much info around whether it’s acceptable and if so how to package Electron apps for Fedora. There’s a very brief discussion about it here and I’ve been unable to search the devel list. If it’s permitted/possible/practical then there’s an Electron app I would be interested to maintain. --- ## [The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly.

Hello, I’m new to Fedora, and I’m experiencing an issue with Discord’s title bar. It shouldn’t be there in the first place, but it appears in gray. After today’s Discord 0.0.89 update, there are now two title bars, one in gray and the other one dark (native to Discord).

I installed Fedora 41 and after doing this RStudio has disappeared from my applications and when I try to do ‘sudo dnf install rstudio-desktop’ I get this message “No match for argument: rstudio-desktop.” I checked and I still have all of the RPM fusion repositories.

I am unable to use fcitx5 to switch to Chinese input method when using Electron software. I am using Wayland, and this issue is quite common on Wayland.Most software written in Electron encounters this issue, such as vscode and cursor.

Hello, first time have installed Fedora 41 beta, but can’t launch any Electron app like VSCodium, DeltaChat, FreeTube - all of them from Flatpak.

I have been noticing within the past couple days denials from SELinux when using the official Discord binary (from the tar.gz archive) on discord.com as well as the official Visual Studio Code (VS Code) rpm (which I installed through adding Microsoft’s official yum repo).

Hi there! So I upgraded from 38 to 39 and to my surprise no electron app seems to work. Behavior doesn’t change whether on X or Wayland.

I have a strange problem with Visual Studio Code but also other Electron-based applications under Wayland. When typing with a keyboard one would expect for the cursor to display the printed key and then wait for the next one to be typed. Instead, when I type a character the cursor moves backwards, t…
