Describe the bug
Possibly related to #1015, if you drag a tab out of Google Chrome to create a new window, it seems to break PaperWM positioning and prevents moving the window. This becomes "viral" and affects other new windows in other applications shifting them up by enough pixels to prevent window titlebar interaction. This can only be fixed be disabling and re-enabling the extension. This in in Gnome 48 with Chrome 134.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Open Google Chrome
  • Create a new tab
  • Drag the tab out of the window to create a new window

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
I would expect two windows side by side, instead they overlap with one shifted up by more than the size of the title bar.
