Restore window size when window is moved

[FezVrasta]

Hi, I understand you don't accept feature requests, but I'll leave it here in case someone feels like to implement it.

Something I miss from Magnet is the following behavior:

1. Use any shortcut to resize/position a window;
2. Drag the window somewhere;
3. The window size is restored to the size it used to have before it was resized by the software;

This is actually a bug. This functionality is/was in Rectangle but there's a regression that causes it to not always happen anymore.

When you get a chance, can you try out v0.21 with the fix?https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle/releases/tag/v0.21

If everything looks good, I'll post it to the update channel.

That was quick!

It works, but there's some delay (~1 second)

[rxhanson]

Thanks for trying it out quick. I noticed that delay, too. It seems like the delay is not as noticeable after I've used it for a little bit of time. It could be some macOS weirdness, but I'll see if there's anything I can do about it.

The original issue was actually caused by something changing in macOS - nothing changed Rectangle side that could (should?) have broken this. I just tried in Magnet and it appeared to have the same bug for me.

[edit] The change in macOS that caused the issue was that the values for the dimensions and origin of a window were not being updated as quickly as they used to when the window was dragged. What that means is that the delay is potentially also due to the window dimensions not being updated, and unfortunately that's something macOS side. I'll still dig in a little further and see if there's anything that can be done. The delay happens only once in a while for me, which could point to the event stream just being a little laggy in macOS.

Alright, round 2:

Let me know how this one goes.

[edit] My testing looks good, so I'm going to go ahead and roll out v0.22 to the update channel.

[FezVrasta]

0.22 seems much better, thank you a lot!

Is there a way of disabling this behaviour, by any chance?

[rxhanson]

@hmarr There's not, but I'd be willing to accept a PR that makes this configurable via Terminal command.

Was this behaviour put into some sort of toggle? It's not working for me on v0.46

[rxhanson]

@jakeswork The checkbox is "Restore window size when unsnapped" in the settings tab
