Improve initial size and placement logic for popups and tooltips on Linux (#189994) ## Why? The initial sizing of popup and tooltip windows on Linux was broken such that windows that calculated their initial size too slowly would have their content overflowing off the edge of the screen. Because they never reposition themselves, this content would be lost forever. This PR fixes that initial sizing such that we wait for the convergence of initial sizes between the embedder and the framework before showing the popup/tooltip. ## What's new? - Add a new `on_size_changed` callback to the `FlViewMonitor` that notifies us when the view's size changes - Tooltips and popups on Linux are now _only_ shown when the first frame has arrived **AND** the size of the view in the Linux embedder agrees with the size of the content in the framework - This essentially spins until they converge to the same size, with a timeout of 250ms. - Made it so that X11 windows can be repositoned whereas Wayland windows cannot This fix consistently manages to place my windows correctly, which is very awesome. ## How it works <img width="4688" height="3840" alt="mermaid-diagram-2026-07-24T19-27-31" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5a5e4c2c-1f63-49f2-acc7-061d50d2e6ef" /> ## Pre-launch Checklist - [x] I read the [Contributor Guide] and followed the process outlined there for submitting PRs. - [x] I read the [AI contribution guidelines] and understand my responsibilities, or I am not using AI tools. - [x] I read the [Tree Hygiene] wiki page, which explains my responsibilities. - [x] I read and followed the [Flutter Style Guide], including [Features we expect every widget to implement]. - [x] I signed the [CLA]. - [x] I listed at least one issue that this PR fixes in the description above. - [x] I updated/added relevant documentation (doc comments with `///`). - [x] I added new tests to check the change I am making, or this PR is [test-exempt]. - [x] I followed the [breaking change policy] and added [Data Driven Fixes] where supported. - [x] All existing and new tests are passing. --------- Co-authored-by: Robert Ancell <robert.ancell@canonical.com>
Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.
For release and other announcements, join the flutter-announce mailing list. Our documentation also tracks breaking changes across releases.
The Flutter tool may occasionally download resources from Google servers. By downloading or using the Flutter SDK, you agree to the Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
For example, when installed from GitHub (as opposed to from a prepackaged archive), the Flutter tool will download the Dart SDK from Google servers immediately when first run, as it is used to execute the flutter tool itself. This will also occur when Flutter is upgraded (e.g. by running the flutter upgrade command).
We think Flutter will help you create beautiful, fast apps, with a productive, extensible and open development model, whether you're targeting iOS or Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux or embedding it as the UI toolkit for a platform of your choice.
We want to enable designers to deliver their full creative vision without being forced to water it down due to limitations of the underlying framework. Flutter‘s layered architecture gives you control over every pixel on the screen and its powerful compositing capabilities let you overlay and animate graphics, video, text, and controls without limitation. Flutter includes a full set of widgets that deliver pixel-perfect experiences whether you’re building for iOS (Cupertino) or other platforms (Material), along with support for customizing or creating entirely new visual components.
Flutter is fast. It's powered by hardware-accelerated 2D graphics libraries like Skia (which underpins Chrome and Android) and Impeller. We architected Flutter to support glitch-free, jank-free graphics at the native speed of your device.
Flutter code is powered by the world-class Dart programming language, which enables compilation to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, JavaScript and WebAssembly for the web, as well as Intel x64 and ARM for desktop devices.
Flutter offers stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state.
Flutter works with any development tool (or none at all), and also includes editor plug-ins for both Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ / Android Studio. Flutter provides tens of thousands of packages to speed your development, regardless of your target platform. And accessing other native code is easy, with support for both FFI (on Android, on iOS, on macOS, and on Windows) as well as platform-specific APIs.
Flutter is a fully open-source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found in our contributor guide.
