The problem happens with Fedora 41 (Wayland and Gnome). I can rule out that it is a general Wayland|Gnome|Linux issue because other Electron Apps like for example Signal don't have the issue
Steps to reproduce
- Start the Talk desktop client
2.Plug-in a external monitor - The window decoration of the desktop client is misplaced.
Expected behavior
Windows decoration should be still at the right place.
Actual behaviour
If I manage to click the close button (small shaddow at the right of the screenshot) and open it again from the trayicon everything is fine again:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the window-decoration displacement on Fedora 41 with Wayland and GNOME while plugging in an external monitor. Check the developer-tools console and the About-window diagnosis report, which are currently missing; the fix is complete when the decoration remains correctly positioned after the monitor is connected.
