Public bug reported:
I am not sure whether this can be called a bug, because this behaviour
is by design.
See attached monitor_setup.jpg for my monitor setup.
I work with a large monitor on top of my notebook-screen.
Whenever there's a not maximized but large window (larger than the monitor
below) on the top monitor and i want to drag it onto the bottom monitor it
doesn't work. Since the window manager now declares those black spaces (in
monitor_setup.jpg) as "dead zones" where no cursor or top bar of a window may
enter, the top bar of the dragged window just stays ontop of those dead zones.
Just as if i'd try to put a large object into a small container.
To move the window correctly i first have to resize it so that it is smaller
than the bottom screen and drag it then, or alternatively maximize it and drag
it thereafter (because that behaviour works correctly).
What i would expect to happen:
The window should be maximized (or resize to the largest possible size) on the
smaller screen below.
