i18uandKirill Bulatov 40102ee7c2 workspace: Prevent overwriting window bounds when window is not active (#60950)
# Objective

- Prevent the Zed window height from shrinking to the built-in MacBook
screen's height after macOS screen lock or display sleep in
multi-monitor setups.
- Related to #41246.

## Solution

- Ignore window bounds change events in `observe_window_bounds` if the
window is currently inactive (`!window.is_window_active()`).
- **Explanation**: When the system locks or sleeps, macOS reconfigures
displays (monitors power down, and macOS temporarily treats the built-in
screen as the only primary display). This triggers a resize event on
inactive Zed windows to fit them onto the built-in display. Because the
window was inactive, the `observe_window_bounds` listener still
triggered and scheduled `save_window_bounds`, immediately overwriting
the workspace database with the temporary shrunk dimensions.
- By ignoring bounds updates when the window is inactive, we preserve
the correct original bounds in the database. Since a user-initiated
resize/move always activates/focuses the window first, bounds will still
be correctly persisted for intentional manual updates.

## Testing

- Yes, tested locally on macOS (Sequoia).
- Verified that compiling the `workspace` crate succeeds (`cargo check
-p workspace`).
- Ran all 220 unit tests in the `workspace` crate (`cargo test -p
workspace`), and all passed successfully.
- **How to test**:
1. Open Zed on an external monitor and set it to a large size (or
maximize).
  2. Lock the screen (or let the displays sleep).
  3. Wake/unlock the screen.
4. Verify that the window recovers and maintains its original height
instead of shrinking.

multi-monitor setups.

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
