Subject: [PATCH] compositor: be more selective about how we expand the window
 box in getting coord (#13720)

* Be more selective about how we expand the window box here so that we're not overlapping with any neighbouring windows.

* Don't use getWindowInDirection to see if we're clear to expand the hit box. Instead, just see if our edge is close to the edge of the workspace.

* Clang-format changes
