Sounds far more like the programmer couldn't do things properly, than a feature. I expect minimising/maximising windows to do both of those functions on the same screen. If I want something to shift, I will shift it. If I had to get something to move from second screen to main when I can't actually see it (such as the second screen going AWOL), I expect there to be a proper solution to that (such as the taskbar right-click to move one workspace left). I had that kind of thing happen on a Mac, recently. Something moved without my say-so onto the second screen, which was refusing to switch over to its video input socket the Mac was plugged into, so I couldn't control that app. I had to pull the cord out the back to get the Mac to abandon trying to use the other screen as it doesn't have any obvious way to move an app from one screen to the next without actually mousing over to the other screen. Computers are supposed to be repeatedly predictable. When things turn into random uncontrollable and inexplicable behaviour, that's a failure. Tangentially: For what it's worth, I only use the Mac for video editing. I've never found anything that worked on Linux. Being slow as molasses to deal with the sheer amount of data, requiring expensive video cards for rendering that I don't have, ridiculously primitive in features, or simply unable to support the codecs required to do the job. Externally converting proprietary (though common) formats is not a viable working method. Video editors *have* to directly accept the video formats your cameras create, and the edited output has to be in a normal video format that everything/everyone else can directly use. -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
