Issue with JetBrain IDE and tiling

hhipOP

I'm running into quite a few issues with JetBrain editors (I'm mostly using RustRover, last version).

I have a default floating window rule for it because it opens many smaller windows as dialog box and the relayout they induce is highly disruptive. (I believe it does a very bad job at flagging modal dialog as such. It trips yabai in the same way, so that's very much on JetBrain.) Instead, I manually switch my project window and editor window (on another screen) to tiled.

This works, but I'm getting a number of glitch. Unfortunately, I'm not able to capture the exact circumstances to provide a repro 🙁 I was able to screen capture a case of my project window going completely crazy to the point I couldn't even get it to rest. I'm posting the video in DM for privacy reason.

Starting situation:

  • Project window tiled, alone in monitor 1
  • Editor window tiled, alone in monitor 2

Sometime (not sure when), the project window "untiles" and jumps to monitor 2 for no apparent reason. (I believe it happens when i focus from the editor window to the project window, but it certainly does not do that always.) Then I tried to move back the project window to its place, and that's when it gets crazy. I can bring it back to sanity be hiding/showing RustRover.
