A Demonstrative Screenshot Of System Settings
# SUMMARY
Custom Tiling bypasses minimum window size restrictions, which causes visual
breakage in, at least, first-party applications.
# STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Invoke `systemsettings`.
2. Press “Meta” + “T”.
3. Subdivide the windows *until* (or one past when) they begin to overlap.
4. Press “Shift” whilst you drag its window onto that region.
# OBSERVED RESULT
*Most* Windows are resizable to any arbitrary size, which breaks most:
1. System Settings renders its sidebar behind its content.
2. KDAB's Hotspot's homepage text renders over all other content.
Strangely, GTK 4 (at least, LibAdwaita) windows appear unaffected.
# EXPECTED RESULT
If a window defines a minimum size, the window manager shouldn't silently
override that merely because the window is tiled. Either (probably ideally),
KWin (and/or the Breeze window decorations) should indicate that the window has
been resized to below its minimum-defined size, or it should fail to.

# ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The point of this issue that I don't see discussion about this anywhere, and I
rather need to know whether this is something that application developers
should expect to handle, or whether it's unintentional, *and* undesirable. [^1]
