Set minimum window width to 600px

Out of curiosity, wouldn't Mattermost render in "mobile view" at that point?

Yes, but that still happens at 700px as well.

As the originator of this request, that's fine with me :). I use a tiling window manager, so apps that set a minimum size (which seems to be most Electron apps?) break my desktop.

Very happy for the app to switch to mobile view if that makes sense, I just want to be able to resize it the way I want :).

Thanks for looking at this issue so promptly.

Interesting, I am an i3wm user and can resize at will. But probably because the window manager ignores anything the app says :p

@streamer45 I normally use StumpWM, and it's the same - StumpWM does what StumpWM wants :)

The minimum size thing hits me on macOS. I'm having the same problem with Spotify, FWIW. The OS won't let the "WM" (Rectangle) override the app's specified minimum size.

Personal opinion: apps shouldn't have opinions on their geometry limits, let alone be able to enforce them over the user's instructions.

That makes sense, thanks for the context!
