telegram-desktop WebApps are not working

[knikolaeff]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using the latest major release or the current development version. These are the only supported versions.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues and discussions on GitHub and didn't find any.

Current Behavior

WebApp menu is not loading. Right part of the screen twitches as if I opened a new terminal window, but it suddenly closed.

Some similiar issues:

1. Web App not showing up on ubuntu i3 telegramdesktop/tdesktop#24953
2. Problem with TelegramDesktop WebApp in i3wm #5091

This issue is happening only on i3

Expected Behavior

WebApps must load as per these screenshots

Reproduction Instructions

For example, open the following Telegram bot: https://t.me/DurgerKingBot. Type /start. Click "Order Food".

I don’t see a link to logs.i3wm.org. Did you follow https://i3wm.org/docs/debugging.html? (In case you actually provided a link to a logfile, please ignore me.)

I'll keep this one open since it's a persistent issue but someone needs to deep dive into telegram and find what causes it to crash.

Enabled debug logs in my machine and the main difference I could spot between a working openbox instance and a broken i3 instance is related to "Window Pos":
