What is the issue?

I use yabaii, a tiling window manager that automatically moves windows around when new windows open and close.

When opening Ollama settings, windows are rearranged properly, making space for Ollama. But when I close the settings window, while the window disappears, other windows are not rearranged.

So I must conclude, ollama still in some way "reserves" a window space, after closing.

Quitting ollama causes windows to rearrange to the correct configuration. Reopening settings causes window

@stroiman is this still happening on recent versions of the app?

Hey, sorry I missed this question. I don't use yabai that much anymore, but I just did a quick test, and it appears to be good now. I.e., when I close the Ollama window, Yabai picks it up, and rearranges other windows as normal.
