Description

Using an M1 Max MacBook Pro, having Electron-based apps open / not minimized causes a huge lag.
CPU and GPU usage remains low, but if I have Discord and VS Code open, moving windows, scrolling is stuttery.


The above text is quoted from electron github issue.I'm experiencing the exact same issue.

For details about the issue, please refer to the following link:

Bumping the Electron version in the project to 37.6.0 should resolve the issue.
Do you have a corresponding fix planned, or an estimated timeline (ETA) for the resolution?

Research direction

Review the linked Electron issue #48311 and PR #48376 first. Then locate the project's Electron dependency and assess updating it to 37.6.0; done means the project uses that version and the reported macOS lag is addressed.
