Bug while resizing + moving
Hello,
Just discovered the app and love it. Great job!
I was planning on replacing my current resize + move app, Hummingbird with Rectangle Pro. Unfortunately, it doesn't behave as expected.
Steps to reproduce:
- Hold the resize button trigger (alt + ctrl) and move the mouse -> the window resizes correctly.
- Press shift (so it activates the move button trigger) and continue moving the mouse
Bug: The window doesn't move at first and then, it jumps (as you can see in the video).
The only way to solve the issue is by releasing the resize button trigger before pressing the move window trigger. I guess this is a minor thing that might be happening only to me because of the triggers I'm using 😅 , but I'm so used to those already that I'd really appreciate if you could fix the issue.
Thanks a lot!

I see. Thanks for the video. I'll plan on rolling a fix into the next release.
Hello Ryan. Thanks for trying to fix the issue in the latest release. I hink it behaves slightly better, but the window still changes size incorrectly after resizing + moving.
Sorry for the lack of update here. I am planning on looking into this some more for the next release.
Thanks a lot Ryan. FWIW, another great feature I use all the time with Hummingbird is this:
Is there any chance we can have the same in Rectangle?
The reason I've never added this in is because it's so janky. Using the accessibility API is the only way to move/resize windows as a 3rd party dev, and the bottom right corner is the only smooth one. There's a lot of people that seem to want this though, so I'll consider it probably as a Terminal command config.
Just curious. It seems that resizing Google Chrome has a very noticeable delay. Any idea why that could be?
I think Chrome's window resizing is kind of heavy on the event stream, which would introduce some lag. I don't know the specifics on what is going on there, but I imagine that it is doing a lot of calculation in a way that's different from other applications. Unfortunately, I don't think there's anything I can do from Rectangle Pro side to smooth it out (there's already some logic there that does a bit of smoothing). I no longer personally use Chrome.

@rxhanson - may I ask what browser you are using?
@wpicard-fandom My primary browser is Safari. The speed, privacy, and synchronization with iOS make it the best option for me. For the more privacy conscious: I like and recommend Orion and DuckDuckGo (currently a beta that you can only get by using the iOS version). I really like the iOS version of DuckDuckGo, and it's worth it just to use the proxy email service.
