I am using one screen and am trying to do 2 things at once. I am watching netflix and playing runescape. In windows I could move the application to only show half the game window(Runescape client)
In ubuntu It does not let me move the game window past the edge of the screen. Am I making sense?

          In versions prior to 18,the simplest way to do this is to set Workspace Switcher: System Settings > Behaviour tab



          enter image description here



          This will allow screens to 'wrap' into the adjacent workspace.



          In version 18:



          enter image description here



          To use workspaces, click Activities on above the vertical bar (dock), then move your move to the right of your screen to show the workspaces in used plus one empty one.



          You can then move apps from one workspace to another by simply dragging and dropping the apps onto the other workspace. This workspace now contains the apps you have dropped, and a new empty workspace appears at the bottom of the workspace selector.
