1424273 - After using shift+windows key+arrow to move firefox to another monitor, the window cannot be adjusted using windows key+arrow or shift+windows key+arrow

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect, P3)

Description

[cmt]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171112125346

Steps to reproduce:

Open firefox on one monitor.  Use shift+windows_key+right_arrow to move firefox to another monitor.  


Actual results:

shift+windows_key+<right, left, up, down>_arrow and windows_key+<right, left, up, down>_arrow has no effect.  After minimizing the firefox window on monitor 2 using the _ icon on the upper right corner of the firefox window, the window can be made visible on monitor 1 by clicking the firefox icon in the taskbar. This makes me think that shift+windows_key+left_arrow moves the window but minimizes it also.


Expected results:

shift_windows_key+<right, left, up, down>_arrow should move the firefox window to the right monitor, left monitor, maximize on current monitor, or minimize on current monitor respectively.

I have tried
* refresh
* safe mode
* uninstall, remove profile, re-install
and these do not change the behavior.

If the firefox window is open on the second monitor and the computer goes to sleep, the firefox window is not accessible by any means.

Unable to reproduce the issue, tried on two monitors setup, Windows 10x64 and Windows 7x86.
