The window about to be shifted right

I often shift windows out of the "visible viewport" towards the "right" so that the top window decorations become inaccessible.

Could the window manager shift them into the visible area if that happens. It would be of some practical advantage.

See attached images.

It's a cool idea, but I'm afraid this isn't really technically possible, sorry.
