Bug Description
I have a large primary monitor and a smaller secondary monitor. When I want to maximize a window on the secondary monitor, I drag it to the top of the screen. This fails when the window is larger than the secondary monitor - the window is maxmized on the primary monitor, instead.
I can live with Unity moving large features to large monitors when maximized, but only when the maximize button is used, and not when I drag it explicitly to the top of a screen.
Workaround: Restore the window (if maximized), resize it to make it small enaugh, and then drag it to the top of the secondary monitor. Takes much more time than a simple drag from primary screen to secondary screen.
