Bug: Window throw not working on macOs 12.6
Bug description:
When I use the Window throw trigger and move the mouse, I can see the UI, but when I release my mouse, nothing happens. Sometimes it does work, and I have no Idea why.
Useful Information
Sytem Version: macOs Monterey 12.6 (21G115) Hardware: Macbook Air 2020 (M1) Rectangle Pro Version: v2.5.2(121)
I'm using an external monitor I'm adding my configuration in a comment.
I tried to record this behavior using quickTime, but it doesn't work.

Thanks for reporting with details. Can you try reverting back to v2.4.7 and see if it works for you there?

After downgrade all work again. Throw function stopped work only on main monitor (external monitor works fine), bug detected after unlock mac.
Restart rectangle pro doesn't help, only downgrade or restart macbook.
There's a regression in the latest version that appears only for specific displays (which is why I didn't catch it prior to release). I have also noticed a bug related to notifications, where the window throw doesn't work if you have macOS notifications displayed. I'll be pushing out another release soon, which will hopefully fix both of those scenarios.
For me this issue happens while there is a native notification on screen. After the notification is dismissed, window throwing works again.
@rxhanson I updated to 2.6 (122) on MacOS 12.6 and am seeing the following error when trying to window throw on the "main" display:
Unable to obtain the accessibility element with the specified attribute at mouse location
Grabbing and throwing with ctrl+cmd works on "extended" displays.
For some reason Sublime text works on the main display, but interestingly doesn't show up in the logs with Window under cursor fallback matched: [...], onScreen: Optional(true)) when it grabs, unlike when it's working on the extended displays.
@devtrue Thanks for reporting. Have you restarted your Mac since you updated to 12.6? For some reason macOS appears to be a little flaky with regard to accessibility (window API) until a restart.
@rxhanson Rebooted and no luck. After messing around a bit, I found there is a small 5 px edge that I can grab on all windows.
@devtrue thanks for trying that out and posting back. I’ve made some additional changes in v2.6.2 that I think might have fixed things. You can update within the app or at https://rectangleapp.com/pro/versions
Let me know how that one goes.
@rxhanson Updated to 2.6.2 (124) and it's working as expected with no reboot needed. Thanks!
