Description
Visual Studio 16.0 2019 configuration manager seems to leave behind invisible windows, which Komorebi attempts to manage. This leaves large portions of the screen inaccessible.

After Visual Studio is closed, these regions of the screen become accessible again.

To Reproduce

  • Open a solution in Visual studio
  • In the solution explorer, right-click on a project and select 'Properties'
  • If Visual Studio does not resize to fill only half the screen, close out of the properties window and try again (in my usage, this never takes more than two attempts)

Expected behavior
Either Visual Studio is never resized, or returns to filling the entire screen when the properties window is closed.

You should be able to look at the output of the state command and identify the window that is creating the ghost tile and add a float rule for it. Once you figure out the right rule, please also raise a PR to the app specific config repo for the benefit of other users in the future. 🙏

I think it's this guy:

windows": {
                      "elements": [
                        {
                          "hwnd": 464990,
                          "title": "WindowsFormsParkingWindow",
                          "exe": "devenv.exe",
                          "class": "WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.e2be13_r44_ad1",
                          "rect": {
                            "left": 963,
                            "top": 535,
                            "right": 944,
                            "bottom": 502
                          }
                        }
                      ],
                      "focused": 0
                    }

Limited testing seems to indicate that this is resolved. I will comment/re-open if I find otherwise.

Thanks for the quick response!
