Description

The previous request I made works, to lock the handle during resize.

However, if I have a floating window, and I resize, there are issues where the window moves if I resize the top left, top right, or bottom left.

The window resize works perfectly when resized from the bottom right.

  • The window will move down if resizing has been brought all the way to its window minimum on a floating window if resizing top right.
  • The window will move right if resizing has reached the min size when resizing the floating window from the bottom left.
  • The window will move down, right, or both down and right when the window has reached min size when resizing from top left.

These are problems. But, resizing from bottom right is perfect, the window doesn't move when it has reached its min size.

Research direction
Investigate the resize handling logic in yabai, particularly how window position and size are calculated when resizing from corners other than bottom right. Focus on files related to window manipulation and geometry calculations. Look for any constraints that fix the position when resizing from bottom right but not from other corners, and ensure minimum size enforcement does not alter the window's origin.
