SUMMARY

Custom Tiling misplaces tiles outside the boundary of the display, or atop others, when tiles are resized too small.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE & OBSERVED RESULT

Please see the to-be-attached video, because although the steps are consistently reproducible, they are somewhat complex to understand non-visually:

1.	Step:	Split "Left/Right".
2.	Step:	Split the left side "Left/Right".

3.	Step:	Delete the middle split.
	Effect:	This should leave a 2 versus 3 5ths split left-to-right.

4.	Step:	Split the right side "Top/Bottom".
5.	Step:	Split the left side "Top/Bottom".
6.	Step:	Split the bottom-left side "Left/Right".
7.	Step:	Split the bottom-left side "Top/Bottom".

8.	Step:	Split the bottom-left side "Top/Bottom".
9.	Effect:	The tile should be not bordering the bottom anymore. Instead, there's an empty space of untilable area. Additionally, in the top left, some tile buttons should be barely visible.

10.	Step:	Delete the bottom-left tile.
11.	Effect:	The barely visible tile shall move onto the top-left tile.

EXPECTED RESULT

The last two effects should not occur.

Is *this* erroneous, too?

Looks like fundamentally the same issue as Bug 465108, even though the final effects are a bit different.
