Description
Description
When relaunching my application on macOS, the menubar icon position resets to the default far left, rather than where the user positioned it.
Steps to Reproduce the Problem
- Launch application
- Move icon (cmd + drag)
- Quit application
- Relaunch
Expected Behaviour
The icon should retain its position
Actual Behaviour
The icon appears to the far left (default position)
Specifications

Start with package.json to confirm the Electron setup, then trace the menubar startup and position handling while reproducing the four listed steps on macOS. Done means the icon returns to its user-set position after quitting and relaunching, rather than moving to the far left.
