Description

Current window organisation does not respect the client area of the parent window, so it appears under the window title and slightly below too.

Research direction

Start by tracing the splitscreen child-window positioning logic and how it obtains the parent window bounds. Verify the client area is used rather than the full window bounds; done means child windows no longer appear beneath the title bar or shifted downward.
