Description
Cross posting from https://github.com/pop-os/shell/issues/1646 but I have confirmed that it only happens when using Tiling-Assistant in my case.
In Fedora 39 / Gnome 45.4 / Wayland, dual screens, opening a new tab in Gnome-Terminal moves the terminal window to a different monitor.
It only happens when the terminal is tiled to one side (not if bottom/top or corner).
If I disable Tiling Assistant, the problem disappear.
Also, it's only when creating a 2nd tab. After that, if I re-position the window and open a 3rd tab, it won't cause the issue again.
System Info:
- Distro (incl. version): Fedora 39
- GNOME Shell version: Gnome 45.4

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Reproduce on Fedora 39 with GNOME 45.4, Wayland, dual monitors, and Tiling Assistant enabled by opening a second tab in a side-tiled GNOME Terminal window; done means the window stays on its original monitor in that case.
