Windowed Ubuntu programs do not resize like native windows in Windows 11 [require local-move support]

[RosanneZe]

On Windows 10 I was using a third party x server to be able to run Ubuntu GUI windows with wsl2. This worked well, but sometimes I needed to restart because something stopped working. Because of this, I decided to upgrade to Windows 11 to use the new native way.

I was very surprised that the Ubuntu windows work very differently from the native windows. For example, I cannot use the win+left arrow shortcut to make the window take up half the screen, and resizing the window is quite slow. The third party solution worked a lot better: I could use all the normal shortcuts and it was a lot faster.

Will I be able to use keyboard shortcuts for resizing in a future update?

(I'm sorry if this is not the place to leave this kind of feedback. In that case could someone point me to the correct place?)

@RosanneZe, thanks for trying out WSLg. Yes, we are aware of this specific in WSLg. You can refer my comment at https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/324#issuecomment-867052815, thanks!

If window is moved by Windows without involving WSLg, WSLg doesn't know the window has been moved, thus such misalignment occurs.

@hideyukn88 Am I reading this correctly? That initially it was attempted to allow windows + <left/right/up/down> but it caused alignment issues and was removed/disabled until "local move" can be implemented?

Any progress on that issue?

For reference I'm on Windows 11 using the latest WSL as of 2022-10-19

WSL version: 0.70.0.0
Kernel version: 5.15.68.1
WSLg version: 1.0.45
MSRDC version: 1.2.3575
Direct3D version: 1.606.4
DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp

What about the other issue of resizing windows. Sometimes I have to click and drag many times for it to finally do it and it's not smooth at all.

Still broken :(
