[jonhil]

When typing in the ueli input window the window moves.
With every input keystroke the ueli window moves up and left.

Start:

Expected behavior:
A not moving input window ;)

Haha wtf, I have never seen this before and I have litterally no idea what it could be. 😅 I can't reproduce your bug. Can you clone the repo and start ueli from the command line (instructions)? Maybe there is a clue in the console logs.

[LevinFaber]

Same problem, Win10 Pro, latest release. Will add console logs if I get the time.

[oliverschwendener]

Maybe there is a bug when placing the window. Try to set alwaysShowOnPrimaryDisplay to true in the config file (~/ueli.config.json).

[jonhil]

I tried to set alwaysShowOnPrimaryDisplay to true and restartet ueli but it didn't change the inputwindow movement.
I also cloned the repo and startet ueli from the command line but the bug still existed and there was no info or error in the console. Or is there defined logging location?

[oliverschwendener]

At the moment there is only console logging.

[jonhil]

Ok. Then this is all I got from the console:
λ yarn start
yarn run v1.7.0
$ ./node_modules/.bin/electron . --enable-logging
Batchvorgang abbrechen (J/N)? j

I opened multiple programs but the movement bug was consistent. Sorry for not having more info.

[oliverschwendener]

Unfortunately I have no clue what it could be 😢

[jonhil]

No Problem 😉
Sadly the newest 5.0.0 update doesn't solve the bug.
But I'll keep you informed maybe it'll disappear magically with another update 😋

I found the cause. If you set this value > 100%, Ueli starts to move when typing:

[oliverschwendener]

@khanhas Thank you for your research!
To be more precise: if you set the custom scaling value to a value that is not listed here...

...the window starts moving while typing.

@jonhil & @LevinFaber Did you set a custom scaling in Windows?

[oliverschwendener]

I added this to known bugs.

[jonhil]

@oliverschwendener oh yeah I used a custom value there and forgot to set it back :P
changed it to 100% and everything is working perfekt again 👍 thanks!

[oliverschwendener]

Allright! I am closing this issue because this seems to be a bug in chromium or electron. Once again, big thanks to @khanhas for the research!
