Description

Describe the bug

"Toggle Maximization" shortcut interferes with mainstream "Gnome Shell" - and instead of "truly maximizing" the window-in-question, it causes the window to be "resized as maximized".

Steps To Reproduce

System Info:

  • Distro (incl. version): Ubuntu 20.04
  • GNOME Shell version: GNOME Shell 42.9
  • Extension version and from where (e. g. EGO, main branch...): Gnome Extensions
  • XOrg/Wayland: X11

Please add a view in your extension for these to be easily copy-pasted on report

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Toggle Maximization shortcut conflict on Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME Shell 42.9 under X11, then run the issue's journalctl command while reproducing it. Trace the extension's shortcut and maximization behavior; done means the shortcut no longer interferes with GNOME Shell and truly maximizes the target window.
