Bug description

By far the most egregious issue with Linux Mint in the past two years has been this bug: https://github.com/linuxmint/muffin/issues/659

It has remained intact in every major release since Linux Mint 21. In summary, tiling windows to the left or right side of the screen in some pattern causes the mouse's interaction to become offset by an arbitrary distance. This borks everything from drag-and-drop to the spawn of the right-click menu, to your ability to simply click on what you want, and only undocking the window you're in temporarily resolves the issue. I hate it.

HOWEVER, in attempting to troubleshoot this issue in Linux Mint 22, I have encountered an entirely new bug which borks drag-and-drop for what appears to be the remainder of your session. It's VERY finnicky to reproduce and while my reproduction steps involve a live environment and the experimental Wayland session, this bug is NOT exclusive to the experimental Wayland session.

I have used the following steps to reproduce this issue 3 times.

Steps to reproduce

I confirm this behavior on my PC, too.
