[Bug] Multiple issues - Autotiling only working on primary monitor / Autotile not working after minimizing / Autotile on drag

[FappyMcFap]

Description

Firstly, please let me know if you'd like me to make a different discussion for each issue here!

Issue #1
Autotile is only working on primary monitor

Issue #2
Sometimes when minimizing an application, the other tiles on my screen don't autotile and keep their sizes/position

Issue #3
The autotile setting "Drag behavior" does not allow me to save the setting after changing it to "Reorder on drag"

If further information is required, please let me know!

Expected Behavior

Issue #1
Autotile should be working across all monitors

Issue #2
Windows should be resizing depending on what windows are active (See both images of the behaviour I am trying to describe)

Issue #3
The setting should be saved and should apply

Steps to Reproduce

Issue #1

1. Enable Tiling
2. Configure each window with a different tiling algorithm and apply settings
3. Primary monitor works as intended, secondary & tertiary do not.

Issue #2
NOTE: This happens randomly, and doesn't happen all the time.

1. Select a tiling algorithm that is not Monocle
2. Open at least 2 windows
3. Minimize one of the windows
4. The remaining window does not go back to fullscreen, and retains it's original position

Issue #3

1. Enable tiling
2. In tiling settings, attempt to change "Drag behavior" to "Reorder on drag"
3. Prompt to ask to save setting does not appear.

Already working on the minimize bug. Will take a look at the others!

Thanks for the detailed report and the support archive. All three issues were traceable from it.

Issue #2 (windows not retiling after minimize): this was a real bug and is already fixed on main (#859). It will be in the next release.

Issue #1 (autotile only working on the primary monitor): your logs show the windows on the two side monitors are set to "Show on all desktops", and your tiling settings have "Sticky windows" set to "Restore only". With that combination PlasmaZones deliberately leaves pinned windows unmanaged, so nothing autotiles on those screens. Set Settings → Tiling → Window handling → Sticky windows to "Treat as normal" (or unpin those windows) and the side monitors should tile again.

The reason this was so hard to spot is a genuine UI bug on our side, which is also your issue #3.

Issue #3 (drag behavior not saving): the dropdowns on the settings pages were displaying their first entry instead of the saved value. Your config shows "Reorder on drag" was in fact saved and active. The dropdown just kept showing "Float on drag", and re-selecting a value that is already saved produces no change, so no save prompt appeared. The same display bug affected the "Sticky windows" dropdown, which is why it showed "Treat as normal" while your config actually held "Restore only". This is fixed on main and will be in the next release.

After switching Sticky windows to "Treat as normal", both autotiling on the side monitors and reorder-on-drag should behave. If they don't, let me know.

Thank you for looking into it!

I can confirm resetting "Sticky windows" to Treat as normal" works!

I was fiddling around with some settings in hopes of fixing the first issue I had mentioned, and genuinely thought I had reverted this one. But as you mentioned, on the UI end it was already displaying "Treat as normal" selected. Simply re-selecting works!

I can also confirm reorder on drag is working as well.

Thanks again!

Awesome! Glad we got it figured out. :) Will go ahead and close this then.
