[overlay] failed to resize overlay window

Error message

[overlay] failed to resize overlay window

What it means

Resizing the overlay window (appWindow.setSize after clearing min/max constraints) failed during the overlay's content-size update. The failure is warned and the frame-update sequence continues (positioning still runs), so the overlay may render content sized for the new layout inside a window still at its old size — clipped or padded — until the next resize attempt.

Solutions

1. Check the warned error — Tauri window errors here usually mean the window was closed mid-update or the webview window handle is stale
2. If the overlay visibly clips content, trigger a content change to force another resize pass
3. Reopen the overlay window to re-run the sizing sequence with a fresh window handle
4. If persistent, inspect the Tauri shell log for window-manager errors
