All, the issue has been fixed in the latest version of Slack (4.25.2).

[quote who="ptopo" reply="14" id="3845540"] This is driving me crazy. The same thing recently happened with the Trello Windows app. I have Windows Detective now. Would you mind giving explicit instructions on how to implement the workaround? Thanks! [/quote] I put together a quick video to go over how to do it: https://youtu.be/HtcQ2B3X9sA

[quote who="madgick" reply="11" id="3845341"] Its amazing that they've even broken the window animation in their quest to... what even is the quest? [/quote] It doesn't look like Slack intended this behavior; the bug exists as an accident in the desktop app framework they are using called Electron. They updated their dependencies and got this big with it. Other Electron apps will likely soon have this issue when/if they update their versions (e.g. Discord, Ato

After further investigation, it appears this bug was introduced in Electron versions 14.2.6, 15.3.4, 16.0.8, 17.0.1, 18.0.0. I have made Slack aware of the issue with recommendations to revert to earlier versions of Electron.

It is considered normal for applications to have this style for top level windows if they have a titlebar. As an alternative we also factor in if the window is marked as show on taskbar because most windows which have no caption but have fake captions will mark themselve

In the meantime, as a workaround, people can download version `4.24` on https://slack.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions (at your own risk). Running the executable will start Slack in the older version (even closing Slack if it's already open), but you'll need to manually run it each time Slack is restarted. This workaround isn't a forever fix as eventually `4.24` will eventually become obsolete and incompatible with Slack's

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="1" id="3844730"] It looks like the latest Slack window may no longer be flagged as a window with a caption. Because of this it is considered unsuitable for grouping. Quite why they have done this I cannot say. [/quote] Just so we're explicitly clear, does this mean that Stardock is not going to do anything to remedy the situation? Is it possible for there to be a setting to apply exceptions to this rule for certain executabl
