A window from another monitor cannot be halved by dragging to edge

Project Member Reported by ych@google.com, Feb 1 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS aarch64 10032.86.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.140 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Connect Chromebook to external monitor
2. Drag a window (any window) to the external monitor
3. Do not release mouse button, drag the window to the left edge of the external monitor

What is the expected behavior?
The window should be halved and occupy left half of the monitor

What went wrong?
It did nothing when drag towards the edge. Instead, I have to release the mouse button, then drag again towards the edge.

Did this work before? N/A

Note I can still reproduce this issue at the latest dev channel on both Pixelbook and Samsung Chromebook Plus.

The current version I'm using right now: 68.0.3416.0

Please let me know if you want further information.

I think the current behavior is that you have to drop the window in the external display first, before you can dock it to either of its sides.

+ovanieva@ FYI.

Exactly!

Imaging you want to drag a maximized window to external monitor and maximize it there. Currently:
1. click up right corner so it's no longer maximized.
2. drag window to external monitor.
3. drop window, then drag again, towards the top edge of the window.

This is really cumbersome and I wish ChromeOS can make an improvement here.

Comment 8 by afakhry@chromium.org, May 9 2018 

I think the problem is that we don't change the display the window it belongs to until the window is actually dropped. That may be the reason why docking doesn't work while the window is in this state.

oshima@ might have an idea how to fix this.
