They "fixed" this in Mavericks by only allowing a window to be on one screen. The window only renders on the monitor it is the majority on.

  That's kind of sad. Dragging windows seamlessly across monitors has been one of those cool Mac tricks since approximately 1987.

    It is easy to revert to the previous behaviour: uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces" in Mission Control under System Preferences. Mavericks treats multiple displays as unique desktops now, to enable for example separate Full Screen modes for each display.

      Good to know. I have no interest in upgrading to Mavericks and even less interest in full screen mode, but at least now if I ever end up there by accident, I'll be able to get back out!

        Yes, the complaints about full screen mode not working on multiple monitors always seemed idiotic to me. Full screen mode is designed for small laptop screens, to free up some extra screen real-estate. Not for multiple displays.
