For as long as I've been using Windows, I liked throwing the mouse cursor towards TOP-RIGHT in order to then click-close a window.

This practice started suffering when various windows, especially using certain flavors of Chromium, have started having mis-behaving X buttons which for some reason can't be clicked from the TOPMOST-RIGHTMOST pixel.

I mitigated that by using a custom window size & position (restore window + position it at an Y that is below 0 and a bit to the right.

This stopped working when Windows introduced the "snap" feature. One could turn that off. And then things were working again.

Now, even turning it off doesn't work anymore :(. As in, even with snap off, Windows stubbornly forces my window to have an Y greater than 0.

Please tell me a way to make it stop or hack it somehow. I'm thinking at AutoHotkey scripts, but eventually I might have to resort to hooking into the window, although I have no guarantee that will work really, as this seems like a kernel-level decision.

To reproduce, just try to move Spotify off the screen.
