Bug description
One tiled window needlessly resizes to unusable size when adjusting their horizontal sizes. See image attached.
Steps to reproduce
Resize the horizontal layout of two side by side tiled windows. (Sometimes you need to go back and forth to make it happen.)
Upon further testing; it seems that if I tile the left window first this happens, but if I tile the right window first, it doesn't.
Expected behavior
Vertical height of the windows should not change with horizontal resizing.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Cinnamon 6.2.7 on the reported Mint setups: tile two windows side by side and adjust their horizontal sizes, trying both tiling orders. Investigate the window-tiling behavior and verify that horizontal resizing leaves the windows' vertical height unchanged without triggering the reported unusable size.
