cocoa: Prevent spurious window resizes when moving between displays - #16514
Merged

Conversation
macOS 12 added a "feature" that will try to automatically resize windows when they are moved between differently sized displays. Set the undocumented app setting NSScreenLayoutAdjustOnWindowMove to NO to prevent windows from being spuriously resized when being moved between displays. Thanks to @johnnovak for discovering this setting.
