Sway: Surface contents can be rendered outside the borders after a resize

[cedws]

QEMU is underlapping other windows. See below for example.

Version:

sway version 1.0-beta.1-108-gb90af335 (Oct 29 2018, branch 'master')

Steps to produce:

1. Start Sway
2. Launch two terminals and QEMU (supply a cdrom and wait for it to begin booting for the window to underlap)
3. Move one terminal to the left of QEMU and one to the right
4. Observe that QEMU underlaps the rightmost terminal, though this is only visible if your terminal is configured to be transparent

This issue might not be with Sway or wlroots, so please confirm.

Is your terminal transparent?

[cedws]

Yes, it is.

Maybe we should scissor tiled views to their container's bound (excluding popups).

Maybe. In my opinion this is working as designed.

A similar thing happens with gnome-calculator when you have swaybar at the bottom and gnome-calculator doesn't have enough space to fit its minimum surface height. It overlaps swaybar. For example, create layout V[view view gnome-calculator].

@RedSoxFan FYI this is still reproducible after your patch.

I only touched floating clients. Nothing has been changed regarding tiling ones, which is why this remains opens.

I can reproduce a similar issue by setting outer gaps and then opening several gnome-terminal windows. At some point gnome-terminal stops reducing in size and so the last window becomes out of bounds:

It's an extreme situation but the behavior does look incorrect.
