Shelltile resizing issue
I'm running gnome-shell 3.22 on Fedora 25 with the updates-testing repository enabled and am having some really strange bugs when using shelltile
If I group applications together they seem to not maintain proper spacing, not remain within the boundaries of the screen, and not resize accurately afterwards. Here is a gallery of numerous attempts to tile windows together: https://imgur.com/gallery/FJcHA
Every one of those images was taken after using CTRL to hover one window over another which should have tiled them correctly. Instead it doesn't really work at all.
Fortunately, single window snapping to sides/corners still functions perfectly fine so I am still using it for that. As you can tell, I'm also using the dash-to-panel extension but I can't think of how or why that might be causing any issues.
Hi, unfortunately not every window can be resized to any size, some have a minimum or a maximum size. In this case it seems to be the Fedora Software Center that is causing the problem. Yet I must find the best way to address this problem, in the meantime you can try Shelltile with windows that can be resized freely. Abount the space between the windows, by default there is some space. This is to make resizing more easy, but in the extensions settings you can adjust it.
I have the issue with gnome-terminal as well. Chrome seems to be the only window that tiles correctly with any combination. For instance, in one of those images you can see that gnome-terminal, when attempting to snap it to the left side of the screen, stays in the middle, is way too thin, and throws chrome all the way to the right with neither application properly sized at all. In another screenshot, it's closer to accurate but gnome-terminal is shifted left off the screen
I actually can accurately tile 2 chrome windows, but combined with anything else (including terminal, file browser, software center, gedit) nothing lines up or resizes correctly

gnome-terminal is another example, it can be resized only to multiples of the font height and width, like other terminals, nautilus has a min height and width, gedit ha a min width and a tiny min height, if you have this limitations in mind you can work it out. For example, resize the terminal, not the window next to it that can be resized freely. Here is a combination of gedit, nautilus, gnome-terminal and firefox on gnome shell 3.22.2, ubuntu 16.04.
Hi I have the exact same problem and I think it is related to Wayland, because Shelltile works fine for me under Xorg session. Fedora 25, Gnome 3.22, Wayland session.
That would make a lot of sense; I am on Wayland as well. Will test under Xorg later and see if the issue persists.

OK, two things: I can confirm that the issue exists only on wayland and a xorg session works perfectly fine. Shelltile seems to be broken on Wayland. Secondly, I added more images to the gallery in my original post. I thought those were there to begin with.
+1 for Wayland compatibility. Right now it's not usable in Arch, installed using the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-extension-shelltile-git/.
Same here: Wayland seems to be the problem.
With certain combinations of windows it may start apparently well at the beginning, then it starts to get worse and worse. It may end-up not resizing certain windows that worked well before, or getting crazy thin windodw widths (for athom for example you may endup with a window width of 5px!).
The behavior become totally unpredictable after a while.
Hoping you will find the fix ASAP, because it looks like one of those extension you cannot live without ;)
