The original parent of a dragged actor might have been destroyed after
the drag has been started. When the drag is canceled and _dragOrigParent
is set, the code is trying to get the current position and size of it
when restoring. With a destroyed parent this however would result in a
crash.
This could happen for example when starting a drag on a window preview
while the overview is hiding and then releasing it once the transition
is done.

`ThumbnailsBox` listens for the `showing` signal from the `Overview` to
create its thumbnails and destroys them on the `hide` signal. Since the
`showing` signal can be emitted multiple times when switching between
the shown and hidden state without ever fully completing the transition,
this will cause `_createThumbnails` to be called multiple times, each
time adding another set of workspaces.

When starting a gesture to open the overview while a transition to hide
the overview is running, Overview._shown will be first set to false when
starting the transition and then to true by the gesture before the
`onComplete` callback is called. The `onComplete` callback in this case
is `Overview._hideDone()` which starts a transition to show the overview
again which also emits the `showing` signal. Since the gesture emits a
`showing` signal as well, this results in two consecutive `showing`
signals without a `hiding` signal in between.
This breaks the `searchControler` which adds a key press handler to
start the search on `showing` and removes it on `hiding`. So every time
this happens a new handler that will never be removed is added,
resulting in the first key press being repeated.

For the screensaver service, it is quite normal that a consumer only
subscribes to the "ActiveChanged" signal without calling any methods.
The result is that we don't know about the consumer, and shut down
the service anyway after we hit the timeout.
If this happens, we break functionality like gnome-settings-daemon's
screen blanking on idle.
Fix this by simply disabling auto-shutdown for the service, which
also reflects the expectation that the screen saver service is
always running in a GNOME session.

When we press a key with variants, we used to prevent an
early ::pressed, because a long press could show the options
popover, and the press be undone.
In addition, this long press could move to one of the suboptions,

emission of the ::pressed signal.

When super is pressed again during the overview transition, we shift

Using the callback directly as signal handler means that it will

For the primary monitor workspace thumbnail, we must keep the monitor
index in sync with what is currently the primary monitor index,
otherwise we might end up trying to move windows to non-existing
monitors.
For example, if the primary monitor index was 1 when the thumbnail box
was created, but later, the primary monitor index changed to 0, with the
other monitor being turned off, moving a window to one of the workspaces
on the workspace thumbnail, gnome-shell would attempt to move it to the
monitor with the index the primary monitor had in the past, with the
problem being that that monitor no longer exists.
Fix this by listening on the 'monitors-changed' signal on the layout
manager, and update the monitor index of the primary workspace
thumbnails box. Make sure to connect to the signal before creating the
thumbnails box, as the thumbnails box itself will listen to the signal
and recreate its actual thumbnails, and it must do this with the up to
date monitor index.

When OverviewControls goes from HIDDEN to APP_GRID, it constantly checks
if AppDisplay needs to be visible or not by checking the current overview
state is bigger than WINDOW_PICKER. Turns out in this case this check is
problematic, because when the current state trespasses WINDOW_PICKER, the
layout manager will have already positioned AppDisplay halfway to its final
position.
Use either the final or the current state, whichever is biggest, when updating
the AppDisplay visibility. It optionally allows passing the overview state
params to _updateAppDisplayVisibility() so that we avoid a few trampolines to
recaltulate the adjustment state.

Window previews looks slightly offset to the left and top right now
because we don't use the same padding on all edges of the Workspace. We
do that because the oversize and overlap of the window previews is
different on all sides (for example the bottom overlap is very large
because there we show the window title).
To make sure window previews are always perfectly centered on the
Workspace, only use the largest one of the oversize values as spacing
and padding, and add the larger one of the overlap values for the
vertical padding in addition.
With this, we now center the window previews on the Workspace while
never overpainting the allocation of that Workspace to show overlays.

Right now we use a ClutterClone ghost of the panel simply to add some

The logic that decides whether we should shift the window up when the
cursor rectangle overlaps with the keyboard rectangle doesn't work
properly right now, we want it to work like this:
- If the currently focused window is shifted up, keep it shifted up
until the cursor rect no longer overlaps the keyboard rect. To do that
comparison correctly, we need to adjust for the height the cursor rect
is shifted up by (keyboardHeight) and temporarily shift it down again.
- If the currently focused is not shifted up, we want to shift it up as
soon as the focus rect overlaps the keyboard rect. If that's not the
case, want still want to call _setFocusWindow(null) in order to shift
the previously focused window back down.
This fixes two issues: 1) We're currently shifting windows back down at
the wrong position of the cursor (that is y < keyboardHeight). 2) We're
not shifting down previously focused windows when focusing a different
window with the new focus in a specific region (y >= keyboardHeight &&
y + h < monitor.y + monitor.height - keyboardHeight).

So far the FocusTracker of the OSK can only recognize grab ops on a
window, that is when the user grabs the window using a mouse or the
touchscreen and actively drags it somewhere.
Window can also be moved using keyboard shortcuts, fullscreen buttons or
other ways which don't rely on grabs. Start also supporting those window
movements by listening to the "position-changed" signal on the currently
focused window and emitting the new "window-moved" signal in that case.
Because the OSK sometimes moves windows by itself, we temporarily
disconnect from that new signal while we move the focused window in
_windowSlideAnimationComplete().
This also takes care of resetting this._focusWindowStartY on movements
of the window.

Commit 8526776b4a changed the OSK to use
the translation-y property of the MetaWindowActor when animating a focus
window, which broke two things:
1) It's not compatible with the obscured region culling we do for
windows in mutter. That's because MetaCullable strictly operates in
integer coordinates and thus has to ignore any transformations
(translation-y is a transformation). Because of this, during the
animation and gesture, window damage is now tracked incorrectly,
introducing painting issues. The best fix for this would probably be
factoring in transformations when tracking damage in MetaCullable, but
that's not feasible right now.
2) It broke the shifting up of maximized and tiled windows, likely that
is because they are positioned using constraints internally, and mutter
enforces those constraints every time meta_window_move_frame() is
called, not allowing the window to move somewhere else.
To fix both issues, go back to the old way of shifting the window for
now, using the fixed y position of the ClutterActor. To make sure the
drag-up gesture still works, store the initial y1 position of the window
and then use that as a reference point for all our animations.

I suggested it myself when reviewing
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1668, so
here I am reverting that again...
The difference between calling _setFocusWindow(null) and simply
unsetting the focusWindow is that the former animates the window back to
its position before we shifted it up, while the latter simply "lets go
of the window".
In this case we actually want the latter because after the user grabbed
the window, we obviously should not animate it away right underneath the
users pointer/finger.

The focus rectangle of the OSK currently gets stored with an offset that
removes the global coordinates and makes it window-local coordinates.
This offsetting has been applied since the introduction of the
FocusTracker with commit fc5ab44704 and it
seems there's no real reason for it.
By removing this, we also emit position-changed when the window has
moved but the window-local coordinates stayed the same. We really want
to emit position-changed in that case because it might affect whether
the window needs to be shifted up.

Apparently some clients, including gtk don't "clip" the focus rectangle
to their window bounds when scrolling the focus outside the window. This
makes us shift up windows when the focus actually is no longer visible.
This issue needs fixing in GTK, it should probably stop reporting
focus changes when the focus moves outside of the visible view. We can
still do a little bit better on our side though and "clip" the rectangle
to the windows frame rect: If it moves out of the window, we simply stop
updating our focus rect.
The intersection check introduces a small problem though: Some clients
(for example gedit) will give us a cursor rect that has a 0 width or
height. This won't play well with graphene_rect_intersect()
(GrapheneRects never intersect if they are 0-sized), so we set the size
to 1 in case we get a 0-sized rectangle.

The FocusTracker keeps track of the currently focused window using its
internal this._currentWindow property. It will only pick up the focused

picked up.

Right now we always recreate the icon of the appMenu when calling
_sync(). This will relayout the panel everytime we open the overview,

I logged the stack trace from removeWindow() and it seems that when you
move the window from the second monitor to another workspace like shown

removeWindow() is called twice for it, presumably once for the second
monitor workspace, and then once for the first monitor workspace for
some reason. It is during that call that _windowSlots doesn't contain
the window, so instead the last element (index -1) is removed, leading
to the animation bug.

We block state updates while the indicator for the active workspace
is animating. To track that, we check whether the scroll-adjustment's
value matches the active workspace index. That works as long as the
adjustment's value changes after the active workspace, but not when
switching workspaces via SwipeTracker which only changes the active
workspace after transitioning to the new scroll value.

Animating items of the iconGrid involves calling a few more C functions,
which is quite slow. Especially calling ClutterActor.set_easing_delay()
is slow because we override that function in JS to adjust for the
animation slow-down factor. So add a small class variable to make sure
we only animate the icons of the grid when we actually need it.
This makes the average time spent in vfunc_allocate() of the iconGrid go
down to about 0.7 ms.

It's quite slow to access class variables in JS, especially when they're
backed by GObject properties. To avoid accessing them in every iteration
when we're looping through the children of iconGrid, store those values
to another variable and reuse that inside the loop.

the average time spent in that function down from 1.3 ms to 1.1 ms.

Using a preexisting array to iterate over is much faster than iterating
over the actors children using a "for ... of" loop, that's because the
latter calls into C functions to get the next actor all the time.
Also, stop using array deconstruction here, it turned out that this is
extremely expensive. When profiling this part of the code, it turned out
that only 9% of the time spent in _getChildrenMaxSize() is spent calling
the get_preferred_height/width() methods. When not using array
deconstruction, this time increased to 22%, still not great, but a lot
better.

Instead of always aligning window previews vertically at the bottom of

the overview, but since the release of 40 is getting nearer and nearer,
changing more is not feasible anymore.

To ensure the workspace thumbnails are vertically closer to the window
picker than to the search, scale down the wallpapers by a fixed number
of pixels. Using 24 px for this means we'll take of 12 px at the top and
12 px at the bottom of the wallpaper, that's a better strategy than
always scaling it by a fixed factor since it doesn't change with the
monitor size.

The back → transparent transition gives it a very bad look when
booting and running the startup animation.
Use the same transition duration hack to ensure that the panel
starts completely transparent.

There's this little hack that we do to match the panel transition from
transparent to black with leaving the overview via swipe down. The only
problem is that, while the duration of the panel transition itself is
matches, the corners don't, and they get out of sync.
This isn't very noticeable with the swipe gesture, but it'll be much
more prominent when booting straight into the overview.
Bind the 'style' property of the panel to the corners', so that the
transition duration hack applies to all of them.
