Last Known Working Electron version

Testcase Gist URL

N/A

Additional Information

I can't find any pattern in settings for these windows so far. They're secondary and tertiary windows of the application. For some reason the primary window renders without issue.

The issue also affects the taskbar previewer as seen here - the "Settings" window is not rendered. Checking window size/position - and re-centering the window make no difference.

I manually "bisected" Electron versions and arrived at 13.6.0 as the last known good version.

I feel all but certain the cause is #31550
