Current version of the Tiling Assistant extension has a bug with a "Tiling" animation. In some cases, one of the tiled windows become unresponsive.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch 3 instances of GNOME Text Editor
a. Launch First instance and input "1". We need this to differentiate windows
b. Press Ctrl+N to launch the Second instance and input "2" there
c. Repeat previous step for the Third instance
2. Tile First instance to the left side ; in the Tiling Popup select Second instance for the right side
3. Switch to the Third instance, tile it to left ; in the tiling pop-up select Second instance for the right side
4. Try to input something on the Second instance (right side). Visually nothing happens but after user switches focus to the left window, the newly typed text appears.
5. "Maximize"+"Restore" window actions will help to bring tiled window to the normal state.
You can find video demonstration of this issue in the attachment.
GUI way to apply workaround:
- Install Extension Manager (gnome-shell-extension-manager). Open preferences for "Tiling Assistant" extension. Instead of installing "Extension Manager", you can also launch "gnome-extensions prefs tiling-assistant@leleat-on-github"
- Enable "Advanced/Experimental settings" (can be found under "bulb" icon on the left corner of the extension preferences window header-bar)
- On the "General" page under the "Animations" section disable "Tiling" animation
