I saw that you disabled the animations for another issue where "Error in size change accounting" was reported by journalctl. So i tried and disabled them in preferences, and now I don't have the issue.

Same issue. Ubuntu 22.04 Gnome 42.9 Extension version latest on 16 nov 2023 from extentsion.gnome.org via extension manager XOrg/Wayland: Wayland

Disabling animations helped me.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Launch 3 instances of GNOME Text Editor a. Launch First instance and input "1". We need this to differentiate windows b. Press Ctrl+N to launch the Second instance and input "2" there c. Repeat previous step for the Third instance

  2. Tile First instance to left ; in the Tiling Popup select Second instance for the right side

  3. Switch to the Third instance, tile it to left ; in the tiling pop-up select Second instance for the right side

  4. Try to input something on the Second instance (right side). Visually nothing happens but after user switches focus to the left window, the newly typed text appears.

  5. "Maximize"+"Restore" window actions will help to bring tiled window to the normal state.

Workaround

Disable "Tiling" animation (thanks @eschaubert for the suggestion)

CLI way: dconf write /org/gnome/shell/extensions/tiling-assistant/enable-tile-animations "false"

GUI way:

  1. Open Extension Manager . Open preferences for "Tiling Assistant" extension.
    Alternatively, launch gnome-extensions prefs tiling-assistant@leleat-on-github
  2. Enable "Advanced/Experimental settings" (can be found under "bulb" icon on the left corner of the extension preferences window header-bar)
  3. Now on the "General" page under the "Animations" section disable "Tiling" animation
