Hi Eero,
Thank you for the explanation.
Did you try to send the browser window to the scratchpad ? What's your
experience with it ?

Here's an interactive demo of the phenomenon; point your browser to
http://docs.python.org/3/library/zipfile.html#zipfile.ZipFile.extract ,
start
resizing your browser back and forth and see how the lines fly to who knows
where :)
Another point in keeping your browser to a certain width instead of
fullscreen,
is that text is easier to read if the page is narrower.
As my 1440x900 screen is too narrow to keep a browser and a terminal
side-by-side, and too wide to keep them both at fullscreen, the natural
thing to
do here would be to make them overlap a bit so that they both feel just the
right size :)
Your use case feels weird to me, i3 is a windows tiling manager.The

Hi,
the upcoming i3 layout restore feature almost completes my wishlist.

thing lacking is the "float split" that ion3 had. I fired up notion

With the float split you could make two[1] containers overlap each
window.The
amount of overlap was controlled similarly as you would resize a

layout stayed that way until changed it again.
I used to have firefox with docs on one side, and vim on the other. It

wonders for my productivity and I miss it sorely. With that

So, I accept the feature either as built-in, or as a working script[2].
Either
way is fine ;)
Thanks for the great wm!

[1] or maybe even more, but I only ever used two.
[2] note that the containers overlap; a scripter couldn't get away with
just
resizing two side-by-size containers since it would trigger a redraw
usingclients and that would mess things up. A possible solution could be
two
floaters and switching back and forth between them...
