Just adding that this is still an issue present on desktop version v5.11.1 (Ubuntu 24.04)

(Possibly same issue/feature request as more recently filed #1270?)

Hmm, it does look like upstream Electron fixed this and that fixed it for some other Electron apps. Unclear why that fix hasn't applied to the Zulip app.

I see no evidence that upstream Electron fixed this. electron/electron#6996 was closed as wontfix, with the suggested workaround being a native C++ module that binds libX11 directly, with very few downloads, no maintenance in 5 years, and presumably no Wayland support.

https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/15441 and https://github.com/irccloud/irccloud-desktop/issues/86 were the things that suggested to me this was fixed upstream.
