[KDE] Windows still autotiling/stuck in fullscreen after removing tiling scripts

Hi Everyone, My windows are aggressively snapping and autotiling themselves on my screen.

whenever an application goes into fullscreen mode, it completely locks up in that state, I can’t get it to leave fullscreen or resize normally

For context, I wanted to test out some autotiling workflows, so I installed a couple of KWin autotiling scripts. After using them for a bit, I decided the tiling workflow just wasn’t for me. I went into my System Settings, disabled the scripts, and completely uninstalled/removed them from my system

The problem is that even though the scripts are completely gone, the tiling behavior is still happening. It’s like KWin cached the settings or there are residual config files somewhere that are still forcing windows to snap and lock into place.

I’ve rebooted my machine multiple times, but the ghost tiling persists.

Do you have btrfs snapshots in place? Might be easier to just roll back a day or two…

Yet, when those KWin scripts changed things in your /home, that won’t help at all.

Can you check the “Window Rules”, maybe there is something there?

the newer krohnkite is the way to go here, if at all.

Maybe look at remnant window rules? how did you install and remove the scripts?

Check your ~/.config/kwinrc and ~/.config/kwinrulesrc maybe temporarily delete them, relogin, and see if that solves the problem.

Deleting them fixed it, thanks!

It seems that it overwrote the kwinrulesrc
