Issue ID

1357435

Regression

Yes

Undocked Editor windows can not be positioned outside the visible screen area

Window management

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project (1357435.zip) and make sure "SampleScene" is open
2. Enter Playmode
3. Press the S key to open an undocked Game view window
4. Hold the A or D key until the Game view goes beyond the left or right edge of the visible screen area

Expected result: the Game view leaves the visible screen area
Actual result: the Game view stops at the visible screen area's edge

Reproducible with: 2020.3.17f1, 2021.1.22f1, 2021.2.0a9, 2021.2.0b12, 2022.1.0a9
Not reproducible with: 2019.4.29f1, 2021.2.0a8

Notes:
1. Reproducible on Windows 10
2. The issue is present on all Editor versions on Ubuntu 20.04 (other application windows are able to leave the visible screen area)

  1. Resolution Note:

    This change was by design to guard against windows disappearing off the screen or losing the top bar to move the window due to DPI differences in displays. A full screen playmode is something we would like to implement in the future.
