FancyZones causing issues when used with Firefox (the browser window decreases in size until it's just a small line when scrolling/moving mouse) #36210

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

I'm using the latest version of Firefox (133.0 64-bit). Have created zones with fancyzones and it was working fine, but recently a strange issue is now consistently happening. When I pin a Firefox window in one of the zones, the right side of the window moves to the left and the bottom side moves up until there is basically nothing left. It looks like it's getting smaller on it's own, but it's actually any interaction you have with the window (scrolling, clicking etc.). It keeps getting smaller until it's basically gone. While it's getting smaller, I can move the window, maximize it by moving it to the top of the screen, but it just keeps getting smaller again. The window is basically rendered useless when the issue starts.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Fixefox window should just pin in the selected fancyzone and not get smaller when I'm scrolling/clicking inside the window.

❌ Actual Behavior

This isn't happening to any other application I'm using, including Chrome and Windows Explorer. This is also not happening when I use the built-in zone feature (hover on maximize button in a window and select a zone). It's only happening when using fancyzones. Sometimes it doesn't happen after pinning a window in a zone. When I do it multiple times, it does happen. The chance of it happening is about 30% based on my testing. It also doesn't matter which zone I'm using. When I move a Firefox tab outside of the window (creating a second/separate window), the new browser window is fine... until I snap it to a fancyzone.

Have searched quite a bit and can't find anything online where people are experiencing this and I don't think it's something I'm supposed to share as a bug with the Firefox developers. Important to note, the window isn't "resizing" as I can see that the minimize/maximize/close buttons are not moving to fit in the window. When the window gets smaller, the entire interface including the content is simply being cut off. Have closed all other applications to make sure something else isn't influencing this.
