Description

Describe the bug
When dragging a window from the extensions' app, snapped to the side will make the window invisible until I place the mouse over the window. It has only happened with the extensions' app.
Here is a video showing the bug: https://odysee.com/Tiling-Assistant-v.32-bug:c
I get the same result when disabling all other GNOME extensions, and it doesn't happen when Tiling-Assistant is disabled.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Snap a window from the extensions' app to the side of the screen.
  2. Drag the window with the header or with SUPER + drag

System Info:

  • Distro (incl. version): Fedora release 35 (Thirty Five) x8
  • GNOME (Shell) version: GNOME 41.3
  • Extension version and from where (e. g. EGO, main branch...): main version 32
  • XOrg/Wayland: Wayland XOrg

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the reported GNOME 41.3, Fedora 35, XOrg, and Tiling Assistant version 32 setup. Start with the extension app's window snapping and dragging behavior, including header and SUPER+drag, and consult journalctl while reproducing it. Done means a window snapped to the side remains visible while it is dragged.
