Bug Description

This happens on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Have two displays with different resolutions (maybe just having panels on one display but not on the other is sufficient?).
2. Have a maximized window on one display.
3. Try to move it to the other display with a (previously chosen) keyboard shortcut.

Expected:
1. Window moves and
2. is maximized on the second display

Observed:
1. Window moves and is maximized for as long as a keyboard shortcut is being hold.
2. Window jumps back to the first display after the shortcut is released.

Really weird behavior. It didn't happen on KDE.

I'm also seeing this behaviour. In addition, I have my keyboard shortcut set to Shift+Mod4+Left (or Up, Down, Right depending on the direction). Not sure if that's also needed information.

I can confirm this. My workaround is to unmaximize the window, move it, then re-maximize it. This needs to be fixed in Marco.
