Description postix 2023-03-13 21:30:30 UTC 
SUMMARY

Currently the number of tiles can be quasi infinite, which however is rather pointless.

Therefor it would make sense to limit them so that there's fixed minimum width / height for a tile
or that tiles have a minimum size for which the edit controls still fit into them.

We could consider a minimal amount of pixels. I'll let the kwin developers respond about how feasible this is.

There seems to be a minimal tiling size already:
