[Bug] Scrolls more than necessary

[rrastgoufard]

Love the ability to center the first and last columns! Now I'm having a minor issue when using "only scroll as necessary". If I center the first/last column and there is another window that is fully visible on the screen, changing focus to it results in a shifting of the grid even though that window was already on the screen completely.

Attached is a screenshot, and below is a verbal description that sparked this issue for me. (Thanks again for adding the ability to center the first/last columns!)

In the image, focusing the dolphin window does but should not cause the grid to move as no scrolling is necessary.

Thank you, yes, but it scrolls more than necessary for me.

E.g. say I have three windows A, B, C that take up respectively 30%, 20%, 30% of my ultrawide monitor.

• I work in C, and want that centered.
• When C is centered, A is moved beyond the left edge of the screen: that's OK, I only need it later.
• I have information in B that I copy into C. A I only need later. .

I can move focus to C and center it. That's nice. However, when I move focus to B, B is centered, which I don't want. When I move back to C, I have to re-center it.

Thanks for the report! Unfortunately, this is not easy to fix without breaking the automatic centering of small grids (grids that are not wide enough to fill up the screen). Requires some thought.

I love the ability to center arbitrarily, too! Thanks again!

I also see some spontaneous scrolling now. If I shift focus between two narrow windows, with a third on the side that extends beyond the screen, scrolling happens so all three are on screen. Despite the third window not being focused on.

Perhaps the scrolling as necessary rule could be changed so scrolling only happens if the window with focus extends beyond the screen?

Personally, I wouldn't mind that small grids are not auto-centered in Only scroll as necessary mode. On the contrary: if I now shift between two equally narrow windows, their border is centered. I never need that. If I work mainly in one of them, I'll want that centered even when I shortly switch focus to the other one to ... copy a password or whatever.
