Google Chrome does not tile correctly

[Angel D. Segarra]

Not sure under what package to file this under but I've disabled enhanced tiling due to issues I was having with it but now with it disabled for some reason Google Chrome does not tile correctly. When tiled using super+left/right, parts of the app end up behind the top panel and outside of the edge of the screen or the ubuntu dock.

Are you using a text scaling factor, or a display scaling factor above 100%? Sounds like https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7727

[Angel D. Segarra (angel-segarra)]

No text scaling in my case.

I also enabled enhanced tiling and seeing the same behavior.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

What is the scaling factor of the display in settings?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Please go to chrome://flags/#ozone-platform-hint and set it to Wayland, then restart the browser. Does that fix the bug?

[Angel D. Segarra (angel-segarra)]

scaling is 100%. Changing chrome ozone to wayland doesn’t fix it.

Temporary workaround (that's working for me): Enabling "Use system title bar and borders" within Chrome settings

- enhanced tiling off
- panel mode off
- auto-hide dock on

Just to add, this may be a Ubuntu specific bug. I tried replicating this in Fedora with Gnome 46.0 and 46.2 and can't reproduce.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Ubuntu uses a different tiling extension. You can disable it with:

  gnome-extensions disable <email address hidden>

Unfortunately it happens even with enhanced tiling disabled.
