Screen arrangement.

SUMMARY
When moving a (non-maximized) window to the screen edge, the window border (and shadow) are visible on the other screen as a thin line with a shadow right on the edge of a screen.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two screens connected.
2. Move a window to the screen edge where the two screens meet. Using edge snap zone (under Window Management -> Window Behavior -> Movement) helps here a lot.
3. Observe the thin line and a shadow appear on the second screen.

EXPECTED RESULT
The 1 pixel (if my primary display is at 150% scaling) border shouldn't be visible on the second screen.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
In attachments you can see the bug and my display arrangement (the bug appear both with 100% and 150% scaling)

I'm unsure if this would be a "visual bug" or a feature/wishlist request. In any case, I think the border and shadow should be hidden from other screens until the window actually crosses onto other screens.
