  • Description:
    • When I switch a window to floating mode, it appears at 0,0 for a split second. When I move to scratchpad, it only appears at 0,0 after I view it. If I close and open the scratchpad more than once, it doesn't appear at 0,0
    • Doesn't occur with animations disabled
    • Isn't the case for all types of windows (in my case kitty glitches, but librewolf doesn't)

In the following video I first toggle the window mode between floating/tiled for a couple of times, then move it to scratchpad and display it, and make it tiled again
