Bug Description
i) steps to reproduce:
1) open window
2) semi-maximize it by dragging it to the left or right (super + left/right works as well)
3) drag it upwards by alt-clicking on it
ii) what is expected to happen:
- the window should unstick from the borders, just as it does when you drag a fully maximized window from the top
iii) what actually happens:
- the window vanishes from the user's sight onto a different workspace. The launcher itself however insists that the window is still on this workspace.
- the drag-hand icon is still displayed, while the window itself is not visible
iv) illustration
I have attached a video showing the occurence. I can confirm the same behaviour with my Intel notebook as well as without the unity plugin enabled.

as I just noticed this is most likely closely related to Bug #937665.
Both show this incredible pointer/window offset after the drag. Nonetheless both bugs describe different scenarios and the outcome of this bug is way more likely to astonish the user as the window completely jumps out of sight.
