App Layout restore clears Stash tracking after stashRight/stashDown action

[DMcCoder]

Description

When restoring an App Layout that contains stashed windows, the windows are moved back into their correct stash positions, but the slide-out behavior no longer works.

Running the same stash keyboard shortcut manually after the layout restore fixes the issue.

It appears the layout restore successfully applies the stash action and starts cursor tracking, but a following manual action clears the stash state.

Environment

• Rectangle Pro: v3.80 (225)
• macOS: 26.5.1 (Build 25F80)
• Hardware: Apple Silicon MacBook Pro
• Display: Samsung Odyssey G95SD (5120x1440)

Steps to reproduce

1. Arrange multiple application windows
2. Use Rectangle Pro stash shortcuts:
   • Stash Right
   • Stash Down
3. Save the arrangement as an App Layout
4. Restore the App Layout
5. Move cursor to stash edge

Expected behavior

The restored stashed windows should slide out when hovering over the stash area.

Actual behavior

The windows are moved to the correct stash locations, but they do not slide out.

Running the stash shortcut again on the affected window restores the expected slide-out behavior.

Relevant logs

The log appears to show:

stashRight/stashDown -> cursor tracking starts -> manual action executes -> cursor tracking stops

Notes

The App Layout appears to save the stash actions correctly because stashRight and stashDown are executed during restore.

The issue appears to happen after the stash action succeeds, when the stash tracking state is cleared before the layout restore completes.

Thanks for the detailed report. I'll slate this for the next release.

Sorry for the long delay on this one. If you're still up for troubleshooting this one, would you mind sending me a config that goes with this? I'm not able to reproduce it so I suspect there's something that I'm not seeing. In the General tab of the settings window, there's an export button. Thanks!
