Apple's Continuity Handoff feature is breaking the Rectangle Pro layout

[ygormedeiros]

Title says everything, the apple's continuity handoff feature—specifically the iPhone apps appearing on macbook dock—is breaking Rectangle Pro layout, to be more precise when 1) an app is aligned to the dock side of the screen, 2) the dock is aligned on the right side of the screen, 3) the dock size is the largest one, and 4) when you open an app on your iPhone and then close it.

The workarounds that I found to fix the problem are:

1.⁠ ⁠Decrease the dock size by a couple pixels on System Settings > Desktop and Dock > Dock > Size or,
2.⁠ ⁠Align the dock position at the bottom of the screen, regardless of dock's size.

I haven't found an option in iOS/MacOS to disable this behaviour of displaying iPhone apps on MacBook Dock, but I'm pretty sure—if is possible to do this—that this is another workaround to avoid affecting the layout.

Just uploaded a video on YouTube to show to problem happening in real time, as you can see below.

Thanks for reporting this one, too, and including a video. I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what's going on, though.

Is the issue that the dock is changing size slightly due to the additional icon, and absolute pixel sizes in the layout don't automatically reflect the dock size change? Or is the layout doing something different entirely due to the dock size change?

If you don't mind adding the logs for when this happens, that would also help me get a clearer picture of what's going on.
