Description

Describe the bug
Reapplying a layout with mapped applications makes the app unresponsive, except the minimize and close buttons. After minimizing and restoring the window the application works again as usual.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Create a layout and map applications to each Rectangle.
  2. Apply the layout
  3. Apply the layout again
  4. => all mapped apps unresponsive to clicks

System Info:

  • Distro (incl. version): Fedora 39
  • GNOME Shell version: 45
  • Extension version and from where (e. g. EGO, main branch...): 44
  • XOrg/Wayland: Wayland

Journalctl logs
Old animationInfo removed from actor [0x558be297e7e0 MetaWindowActorX11]
Error in size change accounting.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by creating a layout with mapped applications and applying it twice on the reported Wayland/GNOME setup. Start with the journalctl messages about the old animationInfo and size change accounting; done means mapped applications remain responsive to clicks after the layout is reapplied.
