Description Emil 2020-05-02 21:24:26 UTC 
SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have a multi monitor setup
2. Drag a window to the edge between the two screens for quick tile

OBSERVED RESULT
You need to be very slow and very precise to be able to tile the window.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be easy to quick tile a window. Maybe make the trigger come earlier on the edge in the middle?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Miles Roberts 2022-02-10 13:03:42 UTC 
I have this issue too. There is no option to set the distance at which the window tiles and the default distance is too small to reliable do half and quarter-tiling when using multiple monitors. Other Windows managers, such as XFWM4 let the user set the distance from the edge of the screen where the tiling can occur and KWIN should introduce the same functionality.

This bug was reported against an outdated version of KWin. We have made many changes since the. 
If the issue persists in newer versions can you reopen the bug report updating the version number.
Comment 3 Emil 2024-01-28 21:05:01 UTC 
Still the same on 5.27.10
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2024-06-26 15:29:21 UTC 
This is effectively fixed by the edge barrier feature in Plasma 6.1.
Comment 5 Emil 2024-06-27 13:56:10 UTC 
Great! This is indeed what I wanted. Is there a way to have this behavior only during window dragging?
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2024-06-27 14:05:55 UTC 
Not at the moment, sorry.
