Steps to Reproduce:

Create a BrowserWindow

BrowserWindow browserWindow = await Electron.WindowManager.CreateWindowAsync(new BrowserWindowOptions
            {
                Width = 500,
                Height = 500,
                Frame = false,
                Transparent = true
            });

Create a BrowserView(BrowserView bv = await Electron.WindowManager.CreateBrowserViewAsync();)
Set the Bounds of the BrowserView

var bounds = await browserWindow.GetBoundsAsync(); 
bv.Bounds = new Rectangle() { Height = bounds.Height, Width = bounds.Width, X = 0, Y = 0};

Set the BrowserView(browserWindow.SetBrowserView(bv))

If you set the bounds of the BrowserView before you call SetBrowserView the BrowserView's bounds will be {0,0,0,0}. Once you call SetBrowserView you can then set its bounds.
