No native titlebar in Linux with `window.titleBarStyle` set to `native`

Bug Reports
1

I believe this is a direct result of the fix for issue Double window header on Gnome · Issue #837 · getcursor/cursor · GitHub.

I really like my window decoration from Plasma, so I kindly request that you can honor the window.titleBarStyle settings. I prefer not to use custom title bars, as they often vary significantly from one application to another.

Thank you!

settings.json:

{
  "window.titleBarStyle": "native"
}

I have the same problem. When I set native there is no system title bar at all. My expectation would be that the system title bar would be present.

Also, when native is selected the menu bar disappears which is also unexpected as I wouldn’t expect the menus to be part of the native frame.

I’m running Cursor as an appImage and attempts to do things such as --disable-features=ElectronForceFrameless also fail to fix the problem.

I have tried running Cursor under Wayland and x11 and both have the same problem. I really like Cursor though.
