Bug Description

STR:

0. Make sure you have two displays connected
1. Configure the displays to be vertically-stacked
2. Move a maximizable window on the lower display to the top edge.

Actual results:
- The window travels to the display above.

Expected results:
- Maximize animation appears and when mouse button is released, the window becomes maximized
- There should be edge-stop (sticky edge) effect on top and bottom edges. Currently the edge stop is only active on the left and right edges of the screen.

-------------------------------------
Desired resolution:

- Add edge-stop (sticky edge) behaviour to the top and bottom edges of the monitor.

@vanvugt; I'm not sure that this bug is a duplicate of bug 760240 so I have removed the duplicate link. The reason I am not sure about it being a duplicate is because this bug covers the vertical monitor stacking case and specifically the lack of edge-stop (sticky edge) behaviour on the top and bottom edges of the monitor. I have updated the description to make this clearer
