Description
I’ve noticed an issue with how gaps are rendered when using specific tiling layouts. Specifically, the top and bottom gaps disappear when a window is tiled using vertical maximization (half-screen left or right). However, the gaps work perfectly fine when using quarter-tiling (windows placed in corners).
Steps to Reproduce:
-
Open any application window.
-
Tile the window to the left or right side of the screen to achieve vertical maximization (taking up half the screen vertically).
-
Observe the spacing at the top and bottom of the window.
Actual Behavior:
The window touches the top and bottom edges of the screen (or the panel/dock area), ignoring the configured gap settings for those sides.
Expected Behavior:
The window should maintain the defined gaps at the top and bottom, consistent with how they appear in quarter-tiling mode.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by applying the configured gaps to a window tiled left or right, then compare that behavior with quarter-tiling. Locate the tiling logic for vertical maximization and trace how top and bottom gaps are calculated; done means those gaps remain visible in both layouts without breaking the existing quarter-tiling behavior.
