windows don't correctly span multiple displays and can cause some to become inaccessible

Project Member Reported by vapier@chromium.org, Oct 25

Issue description

Chrome Version: 72.0.3589.0
OS Version: 11191.0.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. attach a monitor
2. open a browser window
3. open devtools console (Ctrl-Shift-J)
4. change display mode from docked to separate window 
5. see devtools open on primary screen, but with the window/title bar above the top of the display
6. window *doesn't* span the two screens, so the devtools window can't be moved

What is the expected result?
the window should have spanned the screens correctly, or at least not been opened on the primary screen but with the window bar inaccessible (negative Y coordinates)

unfortunately, once i get into this state and i manually close/re-open windows, i can't get it to reproduce.  but this is the third or fourth time it's happened to me.

Can you please share a screenshot? I tried to repro, but I don't quite understand what the wrong behavior is. With two displays connected, and the devtools window detached, I don't see anything unexpected (see attached screenshot).

If you want windows to span multi displays, you may want to try Unified Desktop Mode by enabling the flag --ash-enable-unified-desktop, and enable "Allow windows to span displays" in the display settings.
