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.
What i would expect to happen:
The window should be maximized (or resize to the largest possible size) on the
smaller screen below.
//edit:
Removed a part saying that from the maximized window it works (it doesn't)
