Unable to move a maximized window to an upper workspace

[mattebuntu]

If I right-click on the menu bar when a window is maximized and select "move to workspace up" nothing happens and I need to shrink the window in order to make it work. However all the other options work as they should even if the window is maximized.

Indeed, confirming the same on xenial

A little update on the bug: it also affects windows that are snapped to the sides of the desktop, and with programs running under WINE it does not work at all.
