Hit this on Ubuntu 24.04 / GNOME 46 under Wayland: opening the More menu on the recording HUD only shows the bottom couple of rows, everything above is cut off. Same menu also lists German as "de" rather than "Deutsch".

The clipping is a window bounds problem. With no mouse passthrough the HUD is a plain 860x160 window and the popovers render inside it, so a menu taller than the window just gets cut. The More menu needs roughly 510px with ten locales and there's about 150px of room.

There is already code to grow the window for exactly this, but the call sits behind process.platform !== "linux" inside a branch you only reach when isHudOverlayMousePassthroughSupported() is false, which is platform === "linux". So it can never run, and NON_PASSTHROUGH_HUD_EXPANDED_HEIGHT_DIP was doing nothing.

Deleting that guard is the obvious fix and it's wrong. Growing on hover shifts the bar out from under the cursor, that fires mouseleave, the window shrinks, the bar lands back under the cursor, repeat. That's #891. Wayland makes it worse because compositors ignore client-side moves, so a window that grows keeps its top-left pinned and extends downward, dragging the bar with it. Worth knowing if you go looking: after setBounds, getBounds() still reports the bottom-anchored position you asked for while the bar visibly slides down, so the main process can't tell the reposition was refused.

So I stopped resizing for menus at all and reserved the room up front instead, 160 to 560 (a 400px menu card, ~16px of offsets, ~96px of bar and padding). The bar renders at the bottom edge of the window so it stays put, and the space above it is transparent and already free for the menu to open into. Nothing resizes, so nothing moves, on X11 or Wayland. I bumped the expanded height used by the webcam preview from 540 to 680 so it still adds room on top of the new baseline, and setHudOverlayFallbackExpanded lost its last caller so it's gone.

The locale label is unrelated but it's the same menu. MorePopover had its own Record<string, string> map with no de entry, while SettingsPanel had a near-identical map that did have it. Merged them into one LOCALE_LABELS in src/i18n/config.ts typed Record<AppLocale, string>, so a missing label is a build error now instead of a row that prints its own locale code.

One trade-off to call out: the fallback window is transparent but still swallows clicks on Linux (#861), and a 560px tall one swallows more than a 160px one. I'd take that over the bar jumping on every Wayland setup, but say so if you disagree. The real answer is passthrough on Linux, which is #861 and not this PR.

tsc, biome lint and format, and i18n:check are all clean, full vitest run is 1084 passing, and I added a test that fails if the compact height ever drops below what a full-height menu needs so this can't quietly come back. Checked by hand on GNOME 46 Wayland.

Also, #876, #863, #799 and #705 all touch HUD popover clipping on Linux. #876 in particular solves this with a menu-open IPC signal plus a Wayland resize anchor; this is just the smaller "don't resize at all" version. Happy to close it if you'd rather take that one.

🟡 Minor · Keep the fallback menu within the available work-area height.

electron/hudOverlayBounds.ts:35-41
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the fallback menu within the available work-area height. On a short display, the fallback window height is clamped to workArea.height, but the non-passthrough menu requires 400px plus its 16px offset and the 96px HUD bar. The menu can therefore clip or overlap the HUD bar. Derive the menu’s usable maximum height from the remaining work-area space, or keep the menu scrollable within the fallback window.
