Version: 4.3.90 (using Devel) Compiler: gcc-4.4.2 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources When you have two screens and maximized window on one screen, you could (in KDE up to 4.3.x) move that window to second screen just by moving windows border in the direction of the second screen. The result was window 'jumped' on the second screen and was still maximized. Now, after start of moving it becames 'restored' and is just moving. So you have to move the window on the second screen and maximized it again. steps to reproduce: 1) you need two screens 2) open some window and maximize it 3) click (and hold) on top of the window, for example on window title 4) when still clicked move mouse in direction to the second window actual result (kde 4.4): window's size is restored and window starts to move in that direction expected result (kde up to 4.3.4): window is still and after you move the mouse in that direction for some distance, window jumps to second screen and is still maximized

The change of behaviour is deliberate. When quick maximization is enabled in System Settings -> Desktop -> Screen Edges dragging a window to the top of the screen will maximize it and dragging a window away from the top of the screen is restore it. Both ways are enabled as it allows users to undo their change by doing the opposite action thus making the feature easier to use. To revert to the old behaviour all that needs to be done is disable the quick maximization feature. Of course this means you can no longer maximize windows by moving them to the stop of the screen.
Oh, I was looking for that "backward compatible switch" under "windows behaviour" -> moving, where I've seen only 'moving of maximized windows". With the switch from "Edges" it can be made to work the way it did before. Thanks for the info and sorry for this noise :) thanks
