Snapped windows do not resize to "unsnapped" size when moved with gesture

[preppie22]

When a window is snapped to the left or right of the screen using the 3-finger move gesture and then subsequently unsnapped with the same 3-finger move gesture, the window size does not revert to the original size.

Workaround: Dragging the window using the title bar will revert the size to original.

How to replicate:

1. Snap window with the 3-finger move gesture (swipe down, then move)
2. Move the window again with the same gesture as above.
3. Note that the size of the window remains the same as when it was snapped.
4. Drag the window by holding the title bar and it will revert to its original (unsnapped) size.

I don't have that problem, because it will reset the window position before doing the snapping. Waiting other to report the same problem. or maybe you can provide me the video?

Here's a video of the problem as requested.

ah, I see.. you enabled window tiling from Ubuntu 23.10, forgot what extension name it is.

First try disabled that extension and see if the problem solved.

The main problem is that extension use their own tiling state (not gnome default tiling), and it didn't set window as maximized (vertically) when tiling function executed. It's like just resize the window to some region without set the maximized flags.

Will see the project how it implements and find some workaround about it.

edit: maybe I should try to set maximized vertical to snapped window, moving window should be disabled (doing restore/unmaximize) if window have maximized flag. Will try with enable that extension for test.

Yep, this solves the problem! Didn't realize there's a conflict there. Maybe you could just mention in the readme that other tiling extensions could cause conflicts.

That would fix it for all tiling assistants I think so that would help keeping other tiling assistants active. Ubuntu tiling assistant is actually quite good for quarter tiling on larger screens.

Thank you for your help and your work on this extension!

Can you try this fix (with tiling extension enabled)?

Hey, sorry for the late reply. This fixes the problem but the animation is a bit janky. The animation without the tiling assistant is perfect.
