Description

Describe the bug
After the fix for #188 was added windows are maximized to the right monitor but the maximize animation looks off. It seems like the starting point for the animation are the coordinates of the window of the top monitor but mapped to the lower one.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Grab a window (super + drag makes this a bit
  2. Move it so its moslty on another
  3. Touch the top edge and
  4. Window tiles to the other monitor instead the one where the top edge was touched

System Info:

  • Distro (incl. version): Arch Linux
  • GNOME (Shell) version: 42.3.1
  • Extension version and from where (e. g. EGO, main branch...): main
  • XOrg/Wayland: Wayland

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior from the attached screencast on Wayland with GNOME 42.3.1, then inspect the maximize animation handling introduced for #188. Done means the window still maximizes on the correct monitor and the animation begins from the window's actual position on that monitor.
