Needs log

Sadly I don't run Systemd so it's difficult to get any logs in this machine. I hope someone else can reproduce though, as Strawberry is a fairly popular music player.

I have this issue with the firefox crash reporting prompt, where it will take a whole big tile, even though it is a small prompt window. I think the firefox crash itself is related to the tiling, as it didn't happen before polonium, but I have never reproduced consistently, so i never reported it. Next time it happens, I will get the logs and post them here, since it includes the the issue reported by @NyaomiDEV of the prompt window taking up a tile

@zeroxoneafour I just experienced that crash with firefox again - and tiled the little crash reporter window taking up a whole big tile. Actually, the whole desktop crashed (screens went black for a second, desktop came back with everything retiled). Steps leading up to it was that I had two firefox windows tiled on my main monitor, one of them untiled somehow and started taking the whole screen. I tried what i usually do in this situation, which is use the kwin shortcut to move the window to another screen and then back, which usually re-tiles, didn't work, so I tried polonium shortcut for float/retile, nothing, then finally I tried dragging the window with Shift to see if it would tile, then crash. I am attaching two logs, one I grepped journalctl for polonium, and another I grepped it for kwin. They cover the whole period I was messing with that window, Let me know if you want something else from it. I know this not entirely about this particular issue, but thought it might help anyway polonium_crash.txt kwin_crash.txt
