Wrong tiling for several windows of the same application "tabbed" #277

Closed oscarvarto closed 3 weeks ago

This is an example of the problem:

At the right, I have opened 2 PDFs in Preview.app. So, aeroSpace treats the two PDFs as if they were each occupying its own separate window (and that's why a third of the screen is wasted on a supposedly separate Window for the second PDF document), but the reality is that Preview allows to have "Tabs" to open several documents at the same time.

This is what aeroSpace sees (but actually, the documents should be allowed to be tabbed): image

Same problem occurs if I open IntelliJ with "Tabbed" projects, and the behavior is very annoying (it completely wastes Screen space and does not allow to "fix" the situation.

Is this a known issue? Should I make a configuration change somewhere?

Another problem is that the mouse is not able to choose the other tab. With aeroSpace turned on, the "active tab" in question refuses to change to the new selected one. It's only possible with a key combination.

In the example above, if I move Preview.app to another screen (where Windows are in accordion instead of tiled), to try to avoid the problem above, IntelliJ screen gets affected! It gets super narrow and windows affect each other very weirdly.
