When activating tiling, I obtain something like this screenshot :

Deactivating and reactivating tiling gives randomly something other like preceding.
Would like to obtain a 4x2 window grid with each window having the same size. And obtaining same determistresult after deactivating/reactivating tiling.

Thanks for your feedback.

ya that is standard behavior for your average tiling manager. they split the active region in half and create a series of forks. so this isnt really a bug, but more a behavioral decision made many moons ago. this, however, will change in the future as i redesign how tiling functions. so stay tuned!

Finally, you are back

i never left. ive just been working on other things

[PHHENS]

Any progress ?

[jardon]

no, i have been working on other things for a bit

i have been playing around with other types of tiling managers to figure out what i like and dont like. this tiling implementation is based on i3 style window management, but it has its shortcomings especially since we're at the mercy of mutter. there are a couple of design decisions i have to work through before committing to implementation, but its next up on my list

Another important feature of gnome 50, it can restore windows size and position between sessions. It may be something usefull when associated to tiling.
