Giant windows

[gabrc52]

Describe the Bug

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enable extension
2. Set open and close animations to broken glass
3. Open GNOME software (happens with other software as well, but the one with near-100% reproducibility in my experience is GNOME software)

You may also check the output of GNOME Shell for any error messages.
This can be done with the following terminal command.
Execute this in a terminal and observe the output while reproducing the bug.

journalctl -f -o cat | grep -E 'burn-my-windows|'

Hey there! Thanks for the report. However, I cannot reproduce this on my end. Could you please do some more tests?

• Does it happen both on X11 and on Wayland?
• Does it happen if you disable all other extensions?

[Schneegans]

Btw, the errors look similar to #166. Are you using some tiling extension?

[Schneegans]

Any news on this one? Else I'll close it as not reproducible...

[gabrc52]

Yes, I was using pop shell. I can collect more logs if you tell me which ones. Thanks

[Schneegans]

Thanks for getting back on this one. First, you should try what I mentioned above:

• Does it happen both on X11 and on Wayland?
• Does it happen if you disable all other extensions?
• Does enabling or disabling the tiling of pop shell have an effect?

[gabrc52]

I just reinstalled the relevant extensions and I don't think I can reproduce this anymore. It used to happen all the time. I think then I was using only the Nvidia graphics card with proprietary drivers and now I'm using AMD for most things. It was Arch then and now Fedora.

[Schneegans]

Well, thanks for the feedback. I'll close it for now, and we can re-open it if someone else has this problem.
