I'm affected by this as well. I have 12 virtual desktops. When I have left/right tiled windows in those desktops, and I resize one of those, then all the windows on all the desktops get resized simultaneously which is super slow and messy (and definitely not what I want or what a user would likely expect). *** Bug 480223 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Is there any reason that we want to keep this behavior? IMHO quick tiling should never change the underlying tiling geometry -- we also have the more advanced custom tiling, which is designed for this use case.

Ah sorry I think there are two different things mentioned in this bug report -- there is resizing affecting both windows on a single desktop, and resizing affecting all quick tiled windows on all desktops. My comment was addressing the second issue. Maybe I should open a separate bug report for that. (In reply to Timothée Ravier from comment #1) > I'm affected by this as well.

This is BUG 471893 I'll say that in my view the design should be to have quick-tiling set via the tile-editor for all new windows (and for those existing windows that are drag/dropped into the tile slot). Then to allow window-edge-binding, that ought to also be done in the tile-editor whereby you CTRL-click-(bind/group) each window you want bound together. Then outside of the tile-editor, you can resize any of those window edges and only the bound ones will resize with it.
