Cannot Manage Tiling With Mouse on GNOME 44

[Condoulo]

(1) Issue/Bug Description:

Unable to manage tiling with mouse on GNOME 44. When I hit super to grab a window I can "move" it on screen, but when I let go it just goes back into it's original position. This also means I'm unable to stack windows using my mouse.

(2) Steps to reproduce (if you know):

• Press Super
• Grab Window
• Move window in an attempt to re-arrange the tiling or stack on top of another window

(3) Expected behavior:

It should let me move that window to another place on the screen or stack that window on top of another.

[emko]

same, any alternative extensions you using? until this is fixed?

pop shell was marked as supported for GNOME 44 with dcf17f3:

I was able to set org.gnome.shell.disable-extension-version-validation
to true and install the extension on GNOME shell 44 beta. Everything
appears to work as expected.

@carlwgeorge, can you reproduce this?

[flokli]

I was able to reproduce. See the attached video - I'm not able to move the "C" terminal window up to the topright corner (and swap with B), it snaps back:

It also seems to be missing the orange "squares" that normally show how things would be tiled if released here.

This seems to be broken due to the major Clutter Grab changes in GNOME 44.0 (described in this merge request https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2683), and specifically because the grab op emitted by mutter is now different (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/commit/12773cf8e2954082f346dee300af624b25baf23c).

Will push a PR to fix this in a bit
