Popouts anchored to their trigger item, and Quickshell maps an anchor
rect given in item coordinates through the item's transform. Rail icons
scale to 1.08 on hover, so a panel placed ~360px left of the icon landed
up to ~29px further left still, leaving a strip of desktop between it and
the rail — by however far the hover scale had got when the dwell timer
fired, which is why it only happened sometimes.
Anchor to the trigger window's content item instead, which never
transforms, and place in window coordinates from the trigger's centre,
which a scale about the centre leaves where it is.
