Any window disappears entirely once the mouse is moved while pressing the
red button with the cursor within the window's title bar.  The window
appears cirrectly in the new position once the mouse button is released.
There is no point showing a screen shot because there is no window to see.
This does indeed also affect dialog and menu windows.
