Fix Linux Wayland HUD oscillation on hover and popover menu clipping - #876
Fix Linux Wayland HUD oscillation on hover and popover menu clipping#876rover-001 wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
- Expand HUD window only while popover menus are active, preventing hover oscillation loops under Wayland compositors (e.g. Hyprland) that re-center resizing floating windows - Calculate dynamic bottom padding when resize anchor is centered so the HUD bar remains stationary on screen during window expansion - Increase NON_PASSTHROUGH_HUD_EXPANDED_HEIGHT_DIP from 540 to 680 to prevent tall popover dropdowns (More, Mic, Cam) from clipping at the top - Update unit tests for 680px bounds and getHudOverlayResizeAnchor - Document Hyprland/Omarchy window rules in README.md

🟡 Changes recommended
The new menu-open wiring touches an effect that uses an untracked setTimeout, which can fire after openId changes and incorrectly toggle HUD mouse ignoring while a menu is open.

Pull request overview
This PR stabilizes the Linux (Wayland) recording HUD overlay by avoiding hover-driven resize oscillation and by increasing the available vertical space so popover menus are not clipped.
Changes:
- Expand the non-passthrough HUD window on Linux only while a popover menu is open (not on hover) via a new IPC signal.
- Detect Wayland sessions and treat the compositor resize anchor as “center”, adjusting renderer layout padding so the HUD bar stays visually fixed during window growth.
- Increase the fallback expanded height to 680 DIP and update unit tests and README guidance for Hyprland/Omarchy compositor rules.
File summaries
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| src/components/launch/LaunchWindow.tsx | Adjusts HUD container padding based on a new resize-anchor signal to keep the bar stable under Wayland center-anchored resizing. |
| src/components/launch/hooks/useLaunchWindowSystemState.ts | Plumbs resizeAnchor from Electron into renderer state. |
| src/components/launch/hooks/useLaunchHudInteractionState.ts | Sends menu-open state to Electron so Linux fallback window expands only when a popover is open. |
| README.md | Documents Hyprland/Omarchy compositor rules for transparent floating HUD windows. |
| electron/windows.ts | Adds IPC handler for menu-open expansion on Linux; exposes resize-anchor in the existing capability handler. |
| electron/preload.ts | Exposes hudOverlaySetMenuOpen to the renderer via the preload bridge. |
| electron/hudOverlayBounds.ts | Increases expanded height to 680 and adds Wayland session detection for resize-anchor. |
| electron/hudOverlayBounds.test.ts | Updates height/y assertions and adds unit tests for resize-anchor detection. |
| electron/electron-env.d.ts | Updates renderer typings for new IPC API and new capability response field. |

Addressed in latest commit: tracked popoverCloseTimeoutRef to clear active timeouts when openId changes or unmounts, and gated the callback to check openIdRef.current === null.

…ect and version Hyprland window rules - Move openIdRef update from render body to useLayoutEffect to comply with React purity rules and prevent leaking uncommitted state - Add version-specific windowrule syntax for Hyprland 0.53.0+ (match:class) alongside legacy windowrulev2 syntax (<0.53.0) in README.md
Description
Fixes two issues affecting the Linux HUD overlay on Wayland compositors (such as Hyprland):
Motivation
On Linux Wayland desktop environments, users running Recordly could not hover over or interact with the recording HUD because the window would instantly flicker and disappear. Additionally, opening dropdown menus resulted in clipped options. This PR ensures the HUD remains stable at its configured position and displays all popover contents without clipping.
