SUMMARY Unable to tile a window to the half of the screen (any half) after the window was tiled to the quarter of the screen STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open konsole window 2. Quick tile to the top left via hotkey 3. Press key to quick tile to the left OBSERVED RESULT Window stays tiled to the top left EXPECTED RESULT Window is tiled to the left SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.13.11-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz Memory: 15.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Doesn't have to be left. First quick tile to any quarter of the screen, then try to quick tile to the same half of the screen. Tiling to the half of the screen initially works, but not after tiling to the quarter. This used to work in Plasma 6.2
I'm afraid this was an intentional change in KWin 6.4; now the tiling is spatial rather than modal, with windows growing and shrinking based on their current size and position. For example, suppose a window is currently quarter-tiled in the bottom-right hand corner of the screen, and you want it to be half-tiled on the left side. You would first press Meta+Up to make the window grow upwards so that it's half-tiled on the right side. Then you would press Meta+left to move the half-tiled window over to the left side.

I follow KDE RSS, but don't seem to recall the announcement or even mention of this change.
I checked and didn't find any announcement of it on https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.3.0/, https://blogs.kde.org/categories/this-week-in-plasma/, https://blog.vladzahorodnii.com/, https://pointieststick.com/, even though I distinctly remember it being mentioned somewhere. So perhaps not, or else my searching skills are poor. :(
