Changing Display Scale makes Window Snapping unusable
I run a 3 monitor setup. Upon a fresh install, window snapping works fine, but after changing the display scale of my left side monitor in the settings application, it goes heywire.
I can be dragging a window and have it sitting in the center of my central display, and it will be trying to snap to the top-right corner of my left-most display.
If I drag the window to the center of my right-most monitor, it will attempt to snap to the top-right corner of my central display.

This has made moving windows to different screens essentially impossible, and has happened across two separate installs of Bazzite (Desktop, Gnome, AMD GPU specifically) so it's also reproducible. At least on my setup, that is.

UPDATE: It was caused by enabling Compiz windows effect in extension manager, and upon disabling, no longer has any issues.
You can fix the issue by just disabling and then re-enabling the aforementioned extension.
UPDATE: Nevermind, I adjusted the display scale again, the issue reappeared, and disabling the extension doesn't fix it anymore.
UPDATE: Restarting the wayland session seemed to fix it. I logged out and back in again, and it's good now. Will test again to confirm it's a reliable fix.
UPDATE: It does indeed fix it.
