Problem

On macOS, with the app window in native fullscreen, pressing ESC took the window
out of fullscreen. The most visible case is a video in HTML5 fullscreen: one ESC
press was expected to leave only the video fullscreen, but it dropped the whole
app out of fullscreen. It also happens with no video at all, when ESC has nothing
to dismiss. Google Chrome does not behave this way.

Cause

On macOS, Electron hands every key event the web content did not consume back to
the native window: WebContents::PlatformHandleKeyboardEvent in
electron_api_web_contents_mac.mm calls [ns_event.window redispatchKeyEvent:].
AppKit answers ESC with cancelOperation:, which leaves native fullscreen on a
fullscreen window. Chrome never returns the raw NSEvent to AppKit, so it stays
fullscreen.

The non-macOS implementation of that function only runs registered window
accelerators, and there is no ESC accelerator in this app, which is why the bug
is macOS-only.

PR #3270 addressed a different mechanism: it stopped forwarding ESC to the root
window through sendInputEvent. That produces a synthetic event, which carries
no NSEvent and can never reach AppKit, so the redispatch was left untouched.

Change

before-input-event runs before the renderer sees the event, so cancelling it
there also cancels the redispatch. That is the interception point used here.

  • New src/ui/main/escapeFullscreenGuard.ts: on macOS, while the window is in
    native fullscreen, an ESC key down is cancelled and replayed through
    sendInputEvent. The replay still reaches the page, but carries no NSEvent
    and cannot reach AppKit. A pending-replay counter with a short deadline
    recognises the replay and re-arms if one is ever dropped. Only key down is
    guarded, since cancelOperation: comes from key-down interpretation.
  • src/ui/main/serverView/index.ts: while the guest is in HTML5 fullscreen, ESC
    is consumed and the fullscreen exit is driven explicitly with
    document.exitFullscreen() on the guest main frame, which also covers a
    fullscreen element inside a nested or cross-origin frame. Otherwise the guard
    replays the key.
  • src/ui/main/rootWindow.ts: the same guard on the root window contents, so ESC
    with focus in the app chrome (tab bar, sidebar, App settings) behaves the same.
  • The ESC key up is no longer forwarded to the root window. Only key down is
    consumed there, and the key up leaked an unguarded ESC once the guest had left
    HTML5 fullscreen.

Every new path is behind process.platform === 'darwin'. Windows and Linux keep
leaving the HTML5 fullscreen exit to Chromium and keep the original no-forward
guard.

Behavior changes

  • While a video is in HTML5 fullscreen on macOS, the page no longer receives the
    ESC key down. ESC exits only the video fullscreen. This matches Chrome, where
    the browser consumes ESC in fullscreen.
  • On macOS, ESC no longer takes the window out of native fullscreen anywhere in
    the app. Fullscreen is still toggled by the green window button,
    Control+Command+F, and View -> Full screen.

Tests

New and updated Jest coverage:

  • src/ui/main/escapeFullscreenGuard.main.spec.ts: swallow and replay, replay
    pass-through, re-arm after the deadline, not fullscreen, key up, non-ESC keys,
    and win32/linux inertness.
  • src/ui/main/serverView/index.spec.ts: HTML5 fullscreen ESC exits only the
    video and is not forwarded, ESC is replayed otherwise, the replay is forwarded,
    the ESC key up is not forwarded, Meta key down and key up are still
    forwarded, and the non-macOS paths are unchanged.
  • src/ui/main/rootWindow.spec.ts: the guard is installed on the root window
    contents and behaves correctly in and out of fullscreen and off macOS.

yarn lint, npx tsc --noEmit, yarn build, and yarn test (156 suites, 1683
tests) pass locally.

QA

No Jest test can prove the fix, because the bug depends on how AppKit reacts to a
real key event from the operating system, and a test generated key event is
synthetic and never gets there. That is what let the earlier regression pass CI.
The automated tests protect the desktop wiring; the OS half is covered by the new
qa/macos-fullscreen-escape/ pack, which must be run on real macOS hardware:

  1. flows/01-video-fullscreen-escape.md — video HTML5 fullscreen, for both a
    .mp4 attachment and an embedded cross-origin player.
  2. flows/02-plain-escape-keeps-fullscreen.md — plain ESC in the workspace and in
    App settings, including repeated and held-key presses.
  3. flows/03-escape-and-shortcut-regressions.md — ESC still closes workspace
    search, Command+R still fires, both fullscreen toggles still work, and the
    windowed video cycle restores the window.
  4. flows/04-windows-linux-escape-unchanged.md — Windows and Linux regression
    check.

node qa/scripts/validate-flows.mjs qa/macos-fullscreen-escape and
node qa/scripts/export-qase-csv.mjs qa/macos-fullscreen-escape pass.

Notes for reviewers

  • qa/**/flows/*.md tables must not be reformatted by Prettier. validate-flows.mjs
    requires an exact steps-table header, and Prettier pads the columns. Consider
    adding qa/**/*.md to .prettierignore.
  • Nothing in CI runs the QA validators today, since yarn lint is eslint plus tsc.
  • Unrelated pre-existing bug spotted nearby, left untouched: the close handler in
    src/ui/main/rootWindow.ts awaits leave-full-screen before calling
    setFullScreen(false), so on a real fullscreen window that promise can never
    resolve.

Added guest HTML5 fullscreen exit handling, guarded Escape processing, root-window forwarding, and macOS/non-macOS regression tests.
Manual QA pack documentation
qa/README.md, qa/macos-fullscreen-escape/*
Documented macOS fullscreen Escape flows, Windows/Linux regression checks, export instructions, and result storage.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3a51a

On macOS, the fullscreen Escape guard has a narrow deadline-boundary case that could allow one Escape event to reach native fullscreen handling unexpectedly. The PR is otherwise mergeable, but the owner should address or explicitly accept this bounded behavior risk.

## Review Basis

- Comparison range: `master` (`7aa3dae6d`) to `fix/macos-escape-exits-fullscreen`
(`3bdd1e747`).
- Changed surface: Electron main process keyboard handling for server webviews
and the root window (`src/ui/main/escapeFullscreenGuard.ts`,
`src/ui/main/serverView/index.ts`, `src/ui/main/rootWindow.ts`).
- User-visible risk: A customer watching a video in a fullscreen app window
presses Escape to leave the video and the whole app drops out of macOS
fullscreen, losing their window arrangement and Space.
- Hypothesis: With the app window in macOS native fullscreen and a video in HTML5
fullscreen, one Escape press returns the video to its inline size and the app
window is still fullscreen, matching Google Chrome.
- Smallest useful proof: OS-level repro on macOS hardware. The Jest suite covers
the desktop wiring only
(`src/ui/main/escapeFullscreenGuard.main.spec.ts`,
`src/ui/main/serverView/index.spec.ts`), because a test generated key event is
synthetic and never reaches macOS AppKit, which is what caused the original
regression.

Do not replace native fullscreen with maximized state.

maximize is not native fullscreen. If F11 is unavailable, this step does not test the native-fullscreen path. Use a verified native-fullscreen control, or mark that check as blocked and keep maximized-window coverage separate.

As per coding guidelines, each branch-specific hypothesis must use the smallest useful proof.

Nice find on the AppKit redispatch root cause — the write-up made this easy to review, and the guard approach is the right shape. I reviewed the branch in depth and pushed 977e7fb with hardening for the replay bookkeeping, all behavior-preserving except one deliberate delta noted below:

  • Auto-repeat leak: the replay credit was a bare counter, so a held ESC (auto-repeat ~33ms) could race an in-flight replay — the repeat got consumed as the replay, passed unprevented to AppKit, and exited fullscreen. Repeats are now swallowed without replaying (only the initial press is replayed). Deliberate delta: the page no longer receives ESC auto-repeats while in native fullscreen. This also dedupes the per-repeat exitFullscreen executeJavaScript calls in the HTML5-fullscreen branch.
  • Stale credit: a replay landing after fullscreen ended (exited by another route) left the credit armed, so the next real ESC within the window leaked. The replay check now runs before the fullscreen gate.
  • Simplifications: counter+expiry collapsed to a single expiry timestamp (the counter could never exceed 1); shared isWindowInAnyFullscreen predicate extracted so serverView and rootWindow can't drift apart; the serverView Escape comment rewritten (it described the opposite of the branch); debug log kept in packaged builds; guest→root forward bails on a destroyed root window.
  • Specs: auto-repeat swallow, non-fullscreen pass-through, and stale-credit clearing are covered. 47/47 across the three touched specs, tsc and eslint clean.

A few things I noted but did not change — mostly needing macOS runtime verification or a scope call, so flagging rather than touching:

  1. Cross-origin HTML5 fullscreen (serverView/index.ts, HTML5-fullscreen branch): the branch preventDefaults ESC and relies on a fire-and-forget top-frame document.exitFullscreen(). If fullscreen is owned by a cross-origin iframe (YouTube/Jitsi embed), that call may not unwind it, and since the keydown never reaches the page, ESC has no effect in that state. Worth a runtime check with an embedded player; a fallback (e.g. bail out of the swallow when exitFullscreen rejects) may be needed.
  2. Pointer lock: while the guard swallows ESC in native fullscreen, Chromium's browser-side ESC handling (pointer-lock release) sees neither the raw event nor the synthetic replay. A page holding pointer lock in fullscreen would be keyboard-inescapable. Needs a runtime repro to confirm.
  3. Replay after expiry: if a replay round-trip ever exceeds the 250ms window (renderer under heavy load), the synthetic ESC is treated as a fresh press and re-swallowed/re-replayed. Low likelihood, but there's no deterministic replay marker — worth checking whether sendInputEvent modifiers survive into before-input-event on macOS, which would allow tagging replays instead of timing them.
  4. Two guards, three hops: a guest ESC is swallowed/replayed by the guest guard, forwarded to the root webContents, then swallowed/replayed again by the root guard. It works, but one keypress flows through two independent credit machines — a single-owner design would be easier to reason about if this area gets touched again.
  5. ESC keyup is no longer forwarded to the root window on any platform. All current root-renderer ESC consumers are keydown-only so this is fine today, but the assumption is only enforced by a comment.

The AppKit-facing behavior itself still needs the hardware pass — qa/macos-fullscreen-escape/ flows 01–03 should be re-run on the amended branch.

Expire the replay credit at its deadline.

Line 68 accepts a credit when now() === replayExpiresAt. A native Escape at exactly the 250 ms deadline can consume the credit and pass through to AppKit. Treat the deadline as expired when the values are equal. Add a test for the exact deadline.

Proposed fix
-    if (replayExpiresAt === 0 || now() > replayExpiresAt) {
+    if (replayExpiresAt === 0 || now() >= replayExpiresAt) {

On macOS, Electron hands every key event the web content did not consume back
to the native window (`WebContents::PlatformHandleKeyboardEvent` calls
`[ns_event.window redispatchKeyEvent:]`). AppKit answers ESC with
`cancelOperation:`, which leaves native fullscreen. So pressing ESC while a
video is in HTML5 fullscreen — or with nothing at all to dismiss — also dropped
the app out of fullscreen. Chrome never returns the raw NSEvent to AppKit and
therefore stays fullscreen.

The previous guard only stopped forwarding ESC through `sendInputEvent`, which
produces a synthetic event that can never reach AppKit, so the redispatch was
left untouched.

Swallow the ESC key down in `before-input-event`, which runs before the renderer
and thus before the redispatch, and replay it with `sendInputEvent`: the replay
still reaches the page but carries no NSEvent. While the guest is in HTML5
fullscreen the key is consumed and the fullscreen exit is driven explicitly, so
ESC leaves only the video fullscreen, like Chrome. The guard is applied to both
the server views and the root window contents, and is inert outside macOS.

Also stop forwarding the ESC key up to the root window: only key down is
consumed there, and the key up leaked an unguarded ESC once the guest had left
HTML5 fullscreen.
Add regression coverage for the Escape handling that keeps the window in macOS
native fullscreen.

Automated coverage, in `src/ui/main/rootWindow.spec.ts`, asserts that the
`before-input-event` listener is installed on the root window contents, that an
Escape key down in fullscreen is cancelled and replayed, that the replay passes
through, and that the handler is inert when the window is not fullscreen or the
platform is not macOS.

QA coverage, in `qa/macos-fullscreen-escape/`, covers the half no Jest test can
reach: the bug depends on how AppKit reacts to a real key event from the
operating system, and any test generated key event is synthetic and never gets
there, which is what let the earlier regression pass CI. The pack covers video
HTML5 fullscreen for both an attachment and an embedded cross-origin player,
plain Escape with nothing to dismiss, the Escape/menu-shortcut/fullscreen-toggle
regressions, and a Windows and Linux unchanged-behavior check.

Also restrict the HTML5 fullscreen Escape branch in the server view to macOS.
It was running on every platform, which changed Windows and Linux behavior for a
bug that only exists on macOS; those platforms keep leaving the fullscreen exit
to Chromium and keep the original no-forward guard.
- swallow auto-repeated ESC keydowns instead of replaying them, so a
  held ESC can never race an in-flight replay and leak to AppKit
  (also dedupes the per-repeat exitFullscreen executeJavaScript calls)
- consume the replay credit before the fullscreen gate, so a replay
  landing after fullscreen ended clears the credit instead of leaving
  it armed for the next real press
- collapse the pending-replay counter + expiry pair into a single
  expiry timestamp (the counter could never exceed 1)
- extract isWindowInAnyFullscreen so serverView and rootWindow share
  one fullscreen predicate; restore the typed createInput fixture
- bail the guest-to-root ESC forward when the root window or its
  webContents is destroyed
- rewrite the serverView Escape branch comment that described the
  opposite of the code; keep the guard debug log in packaged builds
- cover auto-repeat swallow, non-fullscreen pass-through and
  stale-credit clearing with new specs
