Description

When you move the current full screen mpv window to another screen by pressing Windows+Shift+Left/Right Arrow, it should detect the resolution of the screen it's on first and then expand to full screen. It currently doesn't, probably because full screen mpv isn't actually in Windows full screen mode but just a borderless window?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior on Windows with an mpv fullscreen window moved using Windows+Shift+Left/Right Arrow across displays with different resolutions. Trace the Windows fullscreen and multiscreen handling from that entry point; done means the window detects the destination display's resolution and expands to fit it correctly.
