usually if the half-screen fails it's because the minimal width of the window you try to edge is higher than half of the horizontal screen space. What resolution are you using? Some of those applications can't be shrinked too much, e.G calendar and nautilus are know issue, see bug #1806279 for example

Unfortunately, I just had to realize that dragging windows to the left or right edge unfortunately does not have the desired effect in a number of cases that they fill half the screen. This applies to the following apps, among others: - LibreOffice - Nautilus - Gnome Calendar - Gnome Tasks - Settings Seems to be the same in a wayland and X Session. Especially the problem with LibreOffice makes working almost impossible for me. Should not necessarily be part of a bug report, but I'm thinking about switching back to Unity or another desktop environment, as the Gnome desktop doesn't seem to be mature for a long time (I've already reported well over 10 bugs now).
