Hi @moritz-t-w - are you tiling the window unto a group of tabbed windows? Looks like it is taking the orientation of the parent's parent

[moritztim]

No. But Ii just saw that it might no be as simple as I though, I'll look into it a bit closer today

[moritztim]

It seems to be specific to godot and its extra windows. As you can see in the video if I first snap it to a top quarter it briefly works.

I have also now found that it works if I do the following:

1. Drag the third window to another screen
2. Place it next to the top window
3. Move it next to the bottom window

It tiles as expected. The exception is if the bottom is tabbed
