Bug 472368

SUMMARY

Previous to the quick tiling changes introduced in 5.27 (I think?), quick-tiled windows would retain their new shape when moving or resizing out of their tiled position. I.e. quick-tiling was effectively a permanent move-and-resize action.

After 5.27, quick-tiled windows remember their previous position and revert to it when undoing the quick tiling by moving. This is, broadly, a change that makes sense, I understand why it was made, I think it can be an improvement to usage, to be clear. However it's not the way I'm used to tiled windows working and it can be an annoyance. I would like a way to revert to the previous usage.

Currently I've gotten into the habit of resizing quick-tiled windows by their corners after quick-tiling them, to make them remember their new size. This works, but I'd like to not have to make this workaround.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Resize a window arbitrarily.
2. Drag it to the left side of the screen so that it quick-tiles to the left half of the screen.
3. Drag it again off the left side of the screen.

OBSERVED RESULT

The window will revert to its previous size.

I would like to configure a way for it to not do that, but instead retain its current size—half the screen—the way it was in old Plasma.
