gnomegnome-panelmultiple-monitorstaskbar
I moved my laptop screen "below" external screen (was using left/right config before). There's a little problem.
When my gnome panel is on top of laptop screen, all windows I maximize "drawn" under top gnome panel. Therefore, I cannot see window titlebar.
I tried suggested fixes as metacity --replace and so on, but none worked.
When I move my taskbar to bottom it works just fine.
Any ideas? Thank you.
This behaviour is by design. The GNOME designers decided this was the best thing to do, not taking their actual users into account.
Luckily the behaviour can be reverted. You can use Gnome Tweaks or execute the following in the terminal, re-login and you're all set:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.overrides workspaces-only-on-primary false
or using this on older systems:
gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/shell/windows/workspaces_only_on_primary false --type bool
You probably want to have panels and workspace preview on all monitors too: How to have both monitors in the workspace preview for Gnome Shell?
Settings for GNOME Panel are stored in dconf, now, and you can access them using dconf-editor under: /org/gnome/gnome-panel.
Stuff in dconf is stored in a binary format, which is why those options didn't show up in a search.
To run dconf-editor:
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools or click here (apt://dconf-tools).dconf-editor.Screenshot:

Here is a work around. In the panel properties set the panel to autohide. This way you should be able to grab the window and move it. Or use the expo effect and move the window that way.
