Expected Behavior

There should be a way to move the window with mouse when the "grabing area" is out of the screen.
For example, press "Ctrl" and click any position in the terminal and drag the winow.

I cannot move the terminal window with mouse in this case.

The only workarounds are:

  1. Close one of the tabs then move the window with mouse
  2. Or trigger the system menu with "Alt+Space" and select "Move"

Thanks for the request! You can move the window with Windows+Left (or similar). Otherwise, this is a /duplicate of #539 :)
