After using Windows Live mail and uTorrent for 5 years in my Win7 Ultimate 32bit, a new phenomenon has appeared. I keep those two windows in the secondary monitor. Generally there is a couple of inches between the bottom edge of the W.L.M. window and the top edge of the uTorrent window. If I happen to lower the WLM edge so it (accidentally) touches the top of the uTorrent window, the two edges get 'glued' together, so that if I want raise the bottom edge of WLM, or lower the top edge of uTorrent, they move in lock-step. How to 'separate' them, other than by closing one of them ?

Does minimizing one allow you to move the other?

I did not know the answer, so brought the 'offending' edges together to test your suggestion, but they would not stick together. I can keep it in mind for the next time it happens. I KNOW that closing one window 'breaks the spell'.
