I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with the ShellTile GNOME extension. My windows seem to be glued together. So when I minimize, say my chrome browser, the other window, say a terminal window, gets minimized as well.

This is very annoying and I don't know how to switch it off.

Maybe this happened after I installed the "compiz manager" (although I didn't change anything there)

I probably has something to do with the "snap window to one corner" function, because also when I change the width of the chrome window the terminal window width shrinks / increases accordingly (windows are always shown side-by-side).

  • This feature existed for some time in Gnome Shell. It has been removed again in subsequent versions. I do not know of a possibility to disable that behavior.

  • @vanadium Turns out OP had ShellTile extension installed (from the self-answer) and it's a feature of the extension that can be turned off. Without any mention of this in the question made it extremely unclear to others. – pomsky Jun 08 '20 at 13:38
