Shows quick tiling behavior by keyboard and keyboard+mouse to resize+move

SUMMARY

When two or more windows are quick tiled and one wants to simply resize ONE window, the other windows are resized as well. The only ways to prevent it (that I found) are:

- maximize the target window, then resize it
- maximize/minimize the other windows, then resize the target window

How  both workarounds are problematic when for example one window's contents MUST stay as they are (a website or document that reflows the text, images, etc.).

This is **separate** from somehow invisible tiles being created by this behavior and them persisting.
Both behaviors are very unexpected and frustrating every time they triggered unintentionally, with NO way to reset them.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Quicktile one window to the left
2. Quicktile on window to the right
3. Try to resize ONLY the window on the left

OBSERVED RESULT

The window on the right is also resized

EXPECTED RESULT

**Both** windows are resized

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
