WIndows do not tile in the Pop Shell when moved with three fingers #8

Try it out for yourself to see what I mean. https://github.com/pop-os/shell But basically, moving a window with three fingers stops the windows from autotiling, but moving by dragging the header bars works as intended.

Sorry for the late reply.

This happens probably because three-finger-window-move-extension handles window tiling by showing the tiling preview and then simulating Super+Left or Super+Right. I already created a branch to make use of mutter library functions to handle window grabbing and tiling. But unfortunately I can not put it upstream, as it is blocked by a Shell bug, that has not been fixed by now.
