Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
If you see the behaviour of native windows (not MS Windows, but a window of a GUI application) of modern OS's, dragging the title bar of a maximised window "restores" the window. That is, it becomes a normal window. For example, if you maximise gedit on Gnome, and drag the title bar down, gedit goes back to the window size before maximising.
Doing the same thing on MPV does nothing, currently. I think it would be better if MPV restores its window when the user drags the title bar when it is in full screen mode, or in the maximised window.

Research direction
The issue does not name a source file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing how mpv handles title-bar drag events while the window is maximised or fullscreen, then identify the existing restore and pre-maximisation-size behavior. Done means dragging the title bar restores the prior normal window state without changing ordinary window dragging.
