Thanks for the video. However I cannot reproduce the issue with today's git master when replicating the setup in the video.

Well, sorry folks.  I can't reproduce it anymore, either.  I just tried a bunch of different apps, changing monitor configuration, scaling, etc. and it just keeps on working like it should!  It was consistently breaking on me for a few days before I reported (it worked fine before that).  I suppose if you want to close it, I can always reopen or re-report if it breaks again.

Yeah, it's fine. It is important to report bugs.
