I'm struggling to imagine why would anyone ever want to do that. It's not even an edge case at this point, it's over the edge.

- rbanffy 1y agoIt happens. You might push a window aside so that it's partially on a second screen and still see activity on the second screen. It should be the expected behavior.
- AlienRobot 1y agoI'm not saying it doesn't happen. Of course it will happen. I'm just saying it isn't something that needs to be handled perfectly, specially when handling it perfectly requires immense design changes at a fundamental level. Why can't you just display a blurry rectangle until the mouse cursor goes to the other screen and then you switch the primary resolution from one screen to the other? I feel like trying to be extremely clever to handle this particular problem would lead to a solution that handles far more common situations much worse for everybody...

In that case, the approach taken in macOS is nicer - it just hides the half of the window where the pointer wasn't when the window was dragged. While dragging it does a resample of the bitmap to the screen where that part is shown.
- whitehexagon 1y agoI have two monitors, but only one of them is 4k and a couple cm bigger, and I dont like to buy stuff unless I really need. It is good enough for me. But this case also comes up on the edge of my laptop when I have the 4k plugged in at the same time. In the days of eclipse I'd keep the code editor top half on monitor, and the console output on the laptop, worked quite nice.
- AlienRobot 1y agoThat sounds like you just want to detach the console window, to be honest.
