Description Denis Donici 2014-02-28 16:46:17 UTC 
I expect that there should be consistency between GNOME applications. Its confusing when some applications allow Window Tiling and others don't.
Comment 1 Giovanni Campagna 2014-03-24 09:40:38 UTC 
Window tiling works when the application has a minimum size that is less than half the screen.
For gnome-weather, the minimum width is 700, so it would work on screens wider than 1400 pixels.

The current choice is rather arbitrary, it was meant to avoid shrinking the view to one or two columns.
Comment 2 Daniel Boles 2017-08-20 13:37:54 UTC 
To me this is not a bug: generally, as Giovanni indicated, if any window's requested size is larger than it would get if tiled, then it should not be tile-able, because tiling would make its size smaller than it specifically requested.


If Weather still* sets a minimum size that blocks tiling on someone's screen, and they have a patch that would resolve that while not degrading UX in any other way or for any other screen size, etc., then a new enhancement request can be opened.
