Inconsistent resize/positioning behaviour with constrained windows

[adamjhf]

With constrained windows like iOS Simulator, when dragging to reposition windows in a space, it gives inconsistent behaviour, including not respecting the constrained windows (leaving a gap), pushing other windows partially off the screen, or overlapping windows.

See debug log main2.log when testing with traditional layout on main / 0.4.0.

i think this has been fixed on main. Constraints/unresizeable window handling has been rewritten

On main, windows generally aren't expanding to fill the space for me. See debug logs main3.log.

Note I do have an alternative implementation working quite well for me for constrained windows at https://github.com/adamjhf/rift/tree/windowsize2.

from what app are they from?

Edit: i can't reproduce your issues... also, the constrained window implementation in rift right now is pretty different to yours in the sense that we are requesting constraints from the windowserver and it is just a little more sophisticated in general.

In those logs, I was testing with iOS Simulator as the constrained app. When moving windows left or right, there is still a big gap left due to iOS Simulator not able to expand to the width. When I try to adjust the size of a window though, they appear to fill the gaps.

Now also trying with System Settings, it does seem to work correctly for me. So this may mean the issue is more specific to iOS Simulator.

One difference with iOS Simulator may be that it is only its aspect ratio that is constrained - the window can expand and shrink but it must maintain the same aspect ratio. Apps like System Settings instead have fixed width but can adjust their height.
