Description

Summary

It was observed that, when the tile palette and camera share the same dock, and certain window manipulations are done (unclear what the exact list is, but there are multiple mechanisms), the tile palette will constantly attempt to resize and freeze the editor

How to reproduce

Place the tile palette and camera in the same dock. Attempt to move the tile palette to a different dock. Observe that the tile palette gets stuck resizing and the application freezes.

Workaround

Ensure the camera and tile palette do not share the same dock.

Analysis

Not sure what the exact mechanisms are. More investigation is needed.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate dock resizing logic in the editor, specifically interactions between tile palette and camera when sharing a dock. Look for unresolved resize loops or handle events that may cause freeze.
