Can't move/snap Nautilus window to occupy left or right half of the 1366x768 screen

[Norbert]

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with GNOME Shell.
Nautilus does not want to occupy 50% (left or right) of the screen sized at 1366x768.

See screencast - https://i.stack.imgur.com/ainWP.gif .

Other applications (such as GNOME Terminal, Eye of GNOME, Gedit) are normally snapping to the left/right half of the screen.

But Nautilus can be resized to the width lower than half of screen (I can get 650 px, which is smaller than 1366/2 = 683 px).

The first usable screen resolution seems to be 1400x1050, then goes 1440x900. But large amount of [current devices](http://gs.statcounter.com/screen-resolution-stats/desktop/worldwide/#monthly-201709-201809-bar) are still using 1366x768.

Notes:
1. first seen on AskUbuntu ( https://askubuntu.com/q/1088630/66509 )
2. disabling SideBar helps (by <F9> or `gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.window-state start-with-sidebar false` ), but it is hack and loss of usubility.

The issue seems similar to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/411 where upstream stated that the minimal width is 729 and more than half of the screen which is why it's can be set.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

not a nautilus bug but a gnome-shell limitation

[Norbert (nrbrtx)]

Another stupid limitation from GNOME.
Should be fixed as 1366x768 resolution is used very often.
Writing from laptop with this resolution.
If GNOME can't support then I'll remove GNOME.

[Norbert (nrbrtx)]

Upstream says that it is yours fault ( https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/411#note_380767 ):

So please fix this for next 10 years of 18.04 LTS life.
Make Ubuntu GNOME user experience better.

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to 22.04.1 LTS. In 20.04 LTS this worked as expected, but no longer in 22.04.1 LTS. My screen resolution is 1366 x 768 (16:9). It does work when I disable or auto-hide the dock, but this is more of a workaround than a solution in my opinion.
