Some windows have a fixed minimum width, which is greater than the width of the area allocated for the window, which leads to going out of bounds and climbing onto another window.

I have idea: perhaps auto moving such windows to another available space could solve this problem.
If the selected area is less than the minimum width of the window, then automatically move the window to the space that it can fit.

For example, a terminal window has a minimum width to which it can be shrunk. When creating a new window, the desktop is automatically divided for each new window, respectively, and each new space is reduced.

At the moment when the available space becomes smaller, the window no longer fits, since its minimum width is larger.

This situation does not necessarily repeat with multiple windows: for some applications, two windows are enough to not fit.

I this is also a common problem with a lot of other tiling WMs:

  • Windows 11 though keeps the windows inside the monitor. (I work on 2k with 175% scale)
  • Magnet in MacOS I have the same issue.

I have idea: perhaps auto moving such windows to another available space could solve this problem.

Yeah - GNOME's Mosaic behavior addresses this in theory with moving to other workspaces.

But I like how Windows 11 just fits and makes the window visible inside the monitor. And better ergonomics (you do not have to go back to the previous window - you were working with before)
