Description

Every time when I am dragging a chrome tab to a new window the dragged window will be snapping back and forth, and when I release my mouse the window won't be at the right place and sometimes leaving a orange overlay behind windows.

## Environment
- OS version: macOS 15.4
- yabai version: yabai-v7.1.14
- Installation method: brew

Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce dragging a Chrome tab into a new window on macOS 15.4 with yabai v7.1.14, then trace the window-management handling for the snapping and orange overlay; done when the new window stays at the released position without leaving an overlay.
