Enhanced tiling orange shading that indicates what a window will resize to will persist even after I'm done with the adjustment.

[Jon Crall]

I've got a fresh install of the first 24.04 release, and I'm seeing strange behavior related to super+arrow keys and the enhanced tiling. I've disabled tiling popups and tiling groups, but I like the quad blocks.

The issue is when I'm moving around windows, sometimes the orange shading that indicates what a window will resize to will persist even after I'm done with the adjustment.

I'm not sure how to reproduce yet, but it's happened several times. Not sure if I'll be able to take a screenshot or not.

I was able to get a screenshot of the issue. I edited the images to remove sensitive information I was working with at the time, but the point is that I was moving around windows (I forget if I was using super+arrow or dragging to corners), and the issue happened. I'm still not sure exactly how to reproduce, but this at least provides some illustration of what is happening.

Also note. I have 3 monitors. Two are in landscape and 1 is in portrait. Nothing of interest was in the other monitors. I'll also note I'm using nvidia graphics. I have an RTX 3090 driving the 3 monitors.

I've confirmed it does happen when just using super+arrow and no mouse interaction. I still cannot get it to work reliably though.

My monitor setup looks roughly like this:

```
+----------+
|2 | +------+
| | |1 |
+----------+ | |
+----------+ | |
|3 | | |
| | | |
+----------+ +------+

```

In one test, I was moving a window in monitor 3, and after pressing super+down the orange box appeared across the bottom of monitor 2, which is kinda weird.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Do you also have resize animation shown twice? I had it on left, top, right wrongly and correctly on bottom. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064146
With mouse drag I were able to replicate it.

[Jon Crall (erotemic)]

I have noticed that it will happen in the wrong place and then go away from time to time. That bothers me a lot less than when it persists and obscures something I want to look at. I have no idea how to replicate it yet.

Please try:

  gnome-extensions disable <email address hidden>

Yes, it happens randomly, but I noticed how you can reproduce it, have a few apps minimizrx, open an app in fullscreen, click on top of screen beside clock and click once in an empty area, the fullscreen window becomes a halfscreen with the orange color showing, klick again and you will see all of your minimized apps as icons in the destop. When you move a window aroun, the orange overlay disappears, and if you maximize the app that caused it it will not happen again untill you close it and restart it.

[Amir Argani (amiarg)]

I did not see your reply Daniel, but it worked in the case 'I described, I hope it is fixed on Firefox when it happend without warning.

I were able to replicate that click next to clock bug. When there are no other windows open it will flash the desktop icons on top of the opened window. Took video of the bug: https://youtu.be/Plzwj0K5sQ0

With "gnome-extensions disable <email address hidden>" I had few days without any hiccups but I didn't have super+up or super+down window size control, only super+left and super+right. I enabled enhanced window control again from settings->Ubuntu Desktop and had those controls come back. I replicated and recorded these bugs after that and noticed that enhanced window control menu had dissapeared from the settings.

With Firefox this orange shading came up just by clicking on web page content middle of the screen.
