"Toggle Maximization" shortcut interferes with mainstream "Gnome Shell"

[stdedos]

Describe the bug

"Toggle Maximization" shortcut interferes with mainstream "Gnome Shell" - and instead of "truly maximizing" the window-in-question, it causes the window to be "resized as maximized".

Steps To Reproduce

System Info:

• Distro (incl. version): Ubuntu 20.04
• GNOME Shell version: GNOME Shell 42.9
• Extension version and from where (e. g. EGO, main branch...): Gnome Extensions
• XOrg/Wayland: X11

Please add a view in your extension for these to be easily copy-pasted on report

I am not sure I understand your issue. What do you mean with

"Toggle Maximization" shortcut interferes with mainstream "Gnome Shell"

?

If it's about Tiling Assistant (T-A) replacing GNOME's native shortcut, then that is intentional. If you use T-A, you should use T-A's Toggle Maximization instead of GNOME's native Maximize Window or Toggle Maximization State shortcut, because otherwise T-A can't "hook into" the tiling system.

and instead of "truly maximizing" the window-in-question, it causes the window to be "resized as maximized".

The window should actually maximize, if you disabled T-A's setting for Gaps with Maximized Windows. Tiled windows however will always be just "floating windows" in reality. This is due to the limitaiton of being a GNOME Shell extension.

... so unless I am misunderstanding your issue, there is nothing for me to do here. That's why I am closing this. If you think there is an actual bug here, please reopen it and provide more details.

Not really. I had a one window, then I set it to maximized, and instead of it being set to maximized, it was floating-"maximized".

I understand the tiled limitation for 2+ windows, but not for a single window.

please reopen it

Even if I wanted, I cannot - since the Owner has closed the ticket

and provide more details

I have no more details to provide. But I did encounter it. However, I have undone your shortcut - so I cannot hit it again anymore.

I have

You need to disable the Maximized Windows toggle. The setting is under the Gaps section. That means T-A will add gaps to maximized windows (even if they are set to 0).

However, I have undone your shortcut - so I cannot hit it again anymore.

Did you disable the shortcut in GNOME's native settings app (or another extension)? If the shortcut is already taken, T-A cannot use it (which is a limitation of being an extension...).

Any update here?

You need to disable the Maximized Windows toggle. The setting is under the Gaps section. That means T-A will add gaps to maximized windows (even if they are set to 0).

I have done that, and still - while moving windows around with the mouse it keeps "float-maximizing" them.

... Although, it seems that the extension's settings are somehow not persisted. I am sure I unsetted it as soon as you have told me - but something (Alt+F2, restart - logout - OS restart?) somehow re-activated that Maximized Windows toggle.

However, disabling it does help.
