Steps of reproduction

1. Spawn a floating window.
2. Try to move it.

Expected behavior

The window moves normally.

Current Behavior

The window tries to animate the movement and will not follow mouse speed. It will keep "freezing".

Other details

Here's a video showing the issue.

I've noticed that this happens you set all of the below settings to 1:

transition-pow-x = 1
transition-pow-y = 1
transition-pow-w = 1
transition-pow-h = 1

Setting all of them to something like 0.99 made the stuttering go away

@Barbarossa93 this solved the issue. Thanks!
