Description

If I, e.g. fullscreen a Youtube video and then exit fullscreen, the browser window that that video was in will jump to some new location on the screen.

This still happens if I use yabai -m window --toggle native-fullscreen. (It's not specific to Youtube/browsers.)

Research direction

Reproduce the problem with a browser video and with yabai -m window --toggle native-fullscreen, then trace the native-fullscreen exit and window-position handling. Done means that exiting native fullscreen no longer moves the window arbitrarily in either case.
