"Show Full Message…" only worked once, does not work any more

[dkg]

• Operating System (Linux/Mac/Windows/iOS/Android): Debian GNU/Linux trixie (testing)
• Delta Chat Version: 1.48.0
• Expected behavior: clicking "Show Full Message…" on a long message should open a new window with the full message.
• Actual behavior: After the first time, does nothing.

I received a long message, which did not render fully in the main window. It has a "Show Full Message…" link below it. The first time i clicked that link, it opened a separate window, which contained the full message.

From that window, i chose "File » Close Window" from the menubar, and the window closed as expected.

But now, when i click "Show Full Message…" (on this same message, or on any other long message, including long messages sent as a test after this situation) nothing happens.

I first encountered this while running 1.46.2, but i've since upgraded to 1.48.0 and still nothing happens when i click "Show Full Message…".

no messages appear in the logfile, or on stderr during this click.

In the course of testing this further for replication, i did once get the external window to show again, but i can't figure out what was different about that click compared to any of the dozens of other times that i tried to show any of these large messages. Restarting the app doesn't seem to make a difference either.

Just as a notice: can't reproduce this on Windows.

can't reproduce this on linux. dkg, is the failure-to-open-window about the one message or does it happen with ohter show-more messages?

The prime suspect is the window bounds that we remember.

deltachat-desktop/packages/target-electron/src/windows/html_email.ts

Line 295 in a5c0243

DesktopSettings.update({ HTMLEmailWindowBounds: window_bounds })

Maybe there is something in the logs.
