top bar displayed on top of a fullscreen window that gets moved from one monitor to another

[Marius Gedminas]

I have two monitors: the laptop's internal one (primary), and an external LCD positioned above the it.

I have configured mpv to be the default video player in Nautilus. I have also configured ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf to have 'fullscreen=yes'.

Steps to reproduce:
- click on a video file in Nautilus
- mpv is launches in fullscreen mode on the external monitor
- drag the mpv window with the mouse to the internal monitor

Expected behavior:
- mpv is fullscreen on the internal monitor

Actual behavior
- mpv is fullscreen, but the gnome-shell top bar is displayed on top of the video

Workaround: hit <Super> twice.

Alternative workaround: alt-tab so a different window is on top of mpv then alt-tab back.

No crashes since 40.5 so consider it fixed.
