Snapping Spyder 6 while Show breakpoints is active is broken

[nassimbnm]

Problem Description

I like to work with Spyder in the left half or right half of my screen.
In the Debigging Pane, when the breakpoint list is active, the window becomes a little bit larger, and does not snap anymore until the breakpoint list is deactivated.

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Snap Spyder to the left or right
2. Open Debugger Pane
3. Click red icon "Show breakpoints"
4. Observe the window is enlarged a little bit
5. Try to snap again or move then snap does not work
6. Disable Show breakpopints
7. Snap works again

Hey @nassimbnm, thanks for reporting. You said:

In the Debigging Pane, when the breakpoint list is active, the window becomes a little bit larger, and does not snap anymore until the breakpoint list is deactivated.

What do you mean by snap? Could you upload a short video to better understand what you mean by that? Thanks!

[nassimbnm]

hank you for your answer, what I mean by snap is when you send your window to occupy left or right side of your screen and it resizes automatically, either with the mouse or with a keyboard shortcut.
See the video attached.

Ok, thanks a lot for the clarification. I understand what you mean now. We'll try to solve this before Spyder 6 final is released.

@ccordoba12 Thank you very much.
I also opened another issue on the user interface #22069 if you have the kindness to take a look.
