(1) Issue/Bug Description:
A single tile in a workspace will become a half tile whenever the user goes to another workspace and back; it seems like a "ghost window" opens. This only happens in Wayland, not in Xorg.

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

  • Start Gnome in Wayland.
  • Enable tiling
  • Open an application, e.g. Firefox (This will become a full tile automatically)
  • Move one workspace below and go back. Now Firefox will be halved.
  • Executing the same procedure in Xorg will return expected behavior.

(3) Expected behavior:
The tile should stay a "full tile" when swapping workspaces and back.

(4) Distribution (run cat /etc/os-release):

NAME="Manjaro Linux"

(5) Gnome Shell version:
GNOME 3.38.2

(6) Pop Shell version (run apt policy pop-shell or provide the latest commit if building locally):
1.0.3-1

(7) Where was Pop Shell installed from:
Official Manjaro Repositories

(8) Monitor Setup (2 x 1080p, 4K, Primary(Horizontal), Secondary(Vertical), etc):
One 1080p, 24" monitor

(9) Other Installed/Enabled Extensions:
Activities Configurator
Blyr
GSConnect
OpenWeather
Dash to Dock
Desktop Icons
Appindicator Support
Native Windows Placement
Night Theme Switcher
(User Themes)

(10) Other Notes:
I am not sure if I missed a setting or a particular configuration. However, the behavior is not independent of the windowing system, here Wayland and Xorg.

Here are some example screenshots where I added more and more windows while tiling is activated. You can see that there is always some unused space which looks like if there is one "invisible" tile.

@jonubulin Wayland or X11? Is this with 0657c59? Reproducible steps?

Wayland with pop shell 1.1.0 1612935070 20.10~0657c59 on Pop!_OS 20.10.
This issue appears right from the start as soon as I open a window and switch workspaces.
When I then create new windows, the tiling always behaves as if there is one invisible window that uses some of the space and new windows are arranged accordingly.

I just tested it again with the recent 1.1.0 update and got some very interesting screenshots:

I just found that the issue subsides after disabling the following GNOME shell extension: Desktop Icons NG.

And so, a good temporary workaround for now would seem to be just disabling that extension. After all, it's not like most people use desktop icons.

I'm sorry for the noise. This extension is like a cockroach, after a reboot, it is back, and now I can't even uninstall it. 😫

Go to Extensions (search for the app), scroll to the bottom and disable "Desktop Icons NG (DING)".

Same Issue here. Problem: I can't even open the extensions application. Is there any way to get rid of the desktop icons extension manually?

As the broken DING-extension prevents the GNOME-extensions application from opening on my machine, I had to remove it manually. To accomplish this I simply removed ding@rastersoft.com from the directory /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions
Doing this also lets me open the GNOME-extensions application again.

tldr: $ sudo rm -r /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ding@rastersoft.com
