Regression

yes (window rule rewrite probably)

Describe the bug

in some cases the rule "animation" is ignored

Reproduction steps

with

animations {
    bezier = easeOutQuint,0.23,1,0.32,1
    bezier = linear,0,0,1,1

    animation = global, 1, 10, linear
    animation = windowsOut, 1, 10, easeOutQuint, slide
}

windowrule = animation gnomed, match:float true
windowrule = animation gnomed, match:workspace w[t1]

open a tiled window
open a floating window
close the tiled window -> gnomed (expected)
close floating window -> slide (instead of gnomed)

if you open 1 tiled and 2 floating window:
close 1 floating -> gnomed (expected)
close 1 tiled -> gnomed (expected)
close 1 floating -> slide (not expected, should be gnomed)
