Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Use two monitors, one physically above the other. In the NVidia X Server Settings app, tell it about the arrangement. I made the lower monitor (my laptop screen) the primary one. There are now many issues:
* Maximizing a window in one of the displays doesn't work, it either vanishes completely or moves to the other one. 
* You can't drag a window from the top to the bottom by the title bar (but you can by holding down the ALT key)
* You can't resize windows correctly in the lower display
* Many others

Have fun, thanks for all your great work!
