Issue
Horizontally resizing two half-screen windows that are opened side-by-side results in the right window vertically shrinking by itself.
Steps to reproduce
- Login to Guest account
- Open a Nemo window with Super+E
- Tile it to the left with Super+Left arrow
- Open a Nemo window with Super+E
- Tile it to the right with Super+Right arrow
- Click and drag the mouse left-to-right on the separator between the two windows.
- See issue. Here's a video:
cinnamon-2022-09-15T092541+0300.webm
Notice that at the end of the video, the right window (which has now shrunk vertically) does not have a "resize cursor" at the bottom edge of it. So the window still "thinks" that it is vertically maximized.
Expected behaviour
Resizing horizontally should not shrink the window vertically.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Reproduce the behavior in a Cinnamon 5.4.12 Guest session using the listed tiling steps, then trace the separator resize handling and the right window's vertical state. Done means horizontal resizing preserves both windows' vertical size and the right window remains correctly resizable at its bottom edge.
