Bug ID: 501273
Summary: Resetting tiling layouts is difficult and/or
labour-intensive, because KWin remembers previous tile
states until reboot, unlike other OSes.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.3.2
Platform: Fedora RPMs
URL: https://discuss.kde.org/t/how-to-reset-the-window-snap
ping-region/18509?u=rokejulianlockhart
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Quick Tiling
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: 4wy78...@rokejulianlockhart.addy.io
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
-------
In addition to the title, as [`discuss.kde.org/t/18509`][1] explains:
> [This Reddit post in `r/kde`][2] describes (paraphrased) a significant
> annoyance of mine:
>
> > I can snap the window to the edge or the side of the screen, having
> > side-by-side apps, or 4 apps, by placing them at the edge of the screen.
> > Then, you can click and drag the middle point of these grids of window/app
> > to resize the layout of all window (you can also click and drag the
> > horizontal or vertical line). It’s a very useful feature, but I

This behaviour isn't observed in Windows 11 Pro (OsBuildNumber: 26120).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
------------------
- 1. Quick-Tile a window.
2. Resize it.
3. Untile that window.
4. Retile it.
OBSERVED RESULT
---------------
The window retains its previously resized tile state.
EXPECTED RESULT
---------------
I should be able to choose to reset that state, without needing to go
through the alternative tiling method.
- 1. 1. Custom-Tile a window.
2. Resize it.
3. Untile that window.
4. Retile it.
OBSERVED RESULT
---------------
The window retains its previously resized tile state.
EXPECTED RESULT
---------------
I should be able to choose to reset that state, without needing
to entirely recreate the tiling configuration (which can be really time
consuming for complex layouts).
2. Untile that window.
3. Recreate the tile placements.
4. Retile the window.
OBSERVED RESULT
---------------
The tile sizes are reset to their defaults in (at least) the
custom tile layout mode.
