Description
Karousel version: 8b9f0b62b2922703d7c25a79d5d49ae93cd3f93b
Plasma version: 6.7.4
X11 / Wayland: Wayland
Window class: .scrcpy-wrapped (this should be scrcpy on non-NixOS), resourceName is scrcpy
Window caption (title):
Window type: NET::Normal
Window class: Executable name (e.g. musicbee.exe), resourceName is wine-preloader
Window caption (title):
Window type: NET::Normal
Description:
These windows don't move or resize properly, or its extremely delayed if they decide to move. scrcpy tries to maintain aspect ratio, but winewayland windows don't. I can resize both of them by normal means just fine.
mpv is another example of a window that maintains aspect ratio (by default, the behavior can be disabled with --keepaspect-window=no), but I haven't tested if it also suffers from the same issues as I use --keepaspect-window=no myself.
Example of janky movement with scrcpy

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with the reported .scrcpy-wrapped/scrcpy and wine-preloader windows under Wayland, comparing movement and resizing with normal windows. The issue names no source file or test, so trace the window-movement and resize handling from the reported window classes; done means both applications move and resize responsively without breaking existing window behavior.
