**Note:** Before bug reporting, please make sure you have tried the **latest** (alpha) version of BetterTouchTool and that you have already tried to restart your system :-). If you encounter a crash, please attach a crash log from the macOS Console.app from the "User Diagnostic Reports" section.

**Describe the bug**  
All Actions like "move window to left/right/… half of screen" do not work.  
This bug persists since many, many revisions of BTT.

bug reproduction:

- invoke shortcut to move window to left half of screen
- window "wiggles" shortly but stays in place
- invoke shortcut to move window to top half of screen
- window will move to top half of screen as expected
- now invoke shortcut to move window to left half of screen once more
- window will now finally move to left half of screen as originally intended

**Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):**  
MacBook Pro internal keyboard  
external Apple Bluetooth keyboards

**Screenshots**  
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. (You can just paste or drag them here)

**Device information:**  
MacOS since many MacOS and BTT revisions this is a persistent bug.  
I used several different MacBook Pro and Mac Pro computers and this bug always persisted.  
I use several screens on all devices (at least a second monitor attached).

Current work computer:  
2018 MacBook Pro  
MacOS Monterey 12.3.1  
BTT 3.785 (1928)
