Window selector popup appears on wrong screen

[Leleat]

Which version/commit of the extension are you using (from EGO or from github)?

[chrisirwin]

The one published on extensions.gnome.org

[Leleat]

For may understanding for example:

You have monitor 1 (on the left) and monitor 2 (on the right). If you tile a window to the right half on monitor 2, the dash (popup selector) appears on monitor 2 in the left screen half. But if you activate a window, it will be tiled to monitor 1? Did I get it right?

[chrisirwin]

Not exactly. This bug is just about the "dash" popup specifically:

1. Tile monitor to right half of monitor 2
2. Dash appears on left half of monitor 2
3. However, there are multiple firefox windows, so when you hover over firefox it pops up a window selector to pick a specific window. This appears on the right half of monitor 1 (wrong half and wrong monitor)

This doesn't seem to have any effect on where the window is maximized, although that is sometimes broken as well, though I haven't figured out exactly how. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes windows snap to where you expect only to immediately be unsnapped back to where they came from. Ultimately, it also isn't a feature I desire, so I haven't spent a lot of time narrowing it down.

I just tried out the EGO version. Tried with Monitor 1 as my main monitor and then with monitor 2 but I can't reproduce it. For me the window preview always appears correctly under the app dash. Can you try the master branch and see if the problem persists?

Also please tell me your:

• Distro (incl. version)
• GNOME version
• X11 or Wayland

[chrisirwin]

• Fedora 33
• Gnome 3.38
• Wayland

Tried master branch, but it didn't work:

$ cd tmp
$ git clone https://github.com/Leleat/Tiling-Assist.git
$ cp -a Tiling-Assist/tiling-assistant@leleat-on-github/ ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
$ restorecon -r ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

This is the error in the system journal:

This is the on-screen error if I try to display the settings:

Reverting back to the EGO version works.

Wayland did cause some unexpexted trouble in the past (which didn't appear when using X11). I'll test it on Wayland as well once I get a chance.

$ cp -a Tiling-Assist/tiling-assistant@leleat-on-github/ ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
$ restorecon -r ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

I am not used to working in the terminal (not sure what the -a argument for cp or what restorecon does).

GSettings key show-label not found

I removed that option from the settings already. I guess there was some problem when replacing the files in the extensions folder. So just delete the original tiling-assistant@leleat-on-github folder completely and move the new one in. That should work.

[Leleat]

I could reproduce it now. Issue should be fixed in master.
