I've got a setup with four screens. There are three screens arranged on a bottom line and one centered on top of the middle bottom screen (see image in URL). I can move the mouse to all screens without any problems. It is impossible to move a window from one of the bottom screens to the top screen. When I try to move a window by dragging it from the bottom screen to to top screen, the mouse cursor continues to move over the screen borders, but the window itself somehow hangs at the border. On the other hand it is possible to start new applications so they appear under the mouse cursor position. When I start an application and quickly move the cursor to the top screen the application starts there and everything works fine. But once the application window is moved from the top screen to the bottom (that works perfect), it's no longer possible to move it back to the top screen. Reproducible: Always
Just to make things complete: i'm using xorg-server 1.11.4 and ati drivers 12.6 and it's possible to move windows into the top screen with other window managers (eg. xfce4 or gnome).
came with http://commits.kde.org/kde-workspace/638a839ecd2569bdc2c13d3b2cb2892c87baa72e to fix bug #274466 The fix is to naive / easy, but i more or less have a replacement that covers both cases. RR later this day ;-)

fine :) will that appear in 4.8.95? then I can test it
I assume so, but it's quite a while until RC1 gets released, therefore notice that as workaround unrestricted moving (alt+left mouse button) will work under all circumstances.
