Multi-Monitor dragging windows between screens resizes window

I recently retired a laptop that had it's own screen as 1920x1080 and had a second monitor plugged in that was set to 1920x1080 and when I dragged any application's window between screens, I would see no change in size of the window being dragged. I could move back and forth and the size would never change.

However, my new laptop (an Acer Aspire 5) which also has it's native screen 1920x1080 and has that very same monitor now plugged into it and set to 1920x1080, now when I drag any window across from one screen to the other, the window resizes. I see it change exactly as it passes the threshold of the window being 50% on one screen and 50% on the other. I can wobble it back and forth (left/right) at this threshold point and see it being resized up/down in height by a roughly 100-150 pixels. It's not the most annoying problem to have, but annoying enough.

When I right-click on my desktop and choose display, I see that both screens are set to 1920x1080 and I have them in a 2:1 layout and have the external monitor (display 2) as the main screen and have my start menu/toolbars on there (with vertical layout on the right side of the screen). I don't know if this is relevant ... as I drag the window, it goes behind the start menu/toolbars as it crosses monitors.

Setup:
Acer Aspire 5 15" 1920x1080p i7-8565U 16GB, External monitor 27" LG 1920x1080. Windows 10 Home.

Thanks Elise,

2. feedback to Microsoft
   

Using Steps Recorder on Two monitors. (microsoft.com)

How to limit Problem Steps Recorder to single - Microsoft Community

I need assistance on both suggestions; how to

1. turn off laptop monitor?
   
2. locate feedback hub on Cortana?
   

My workaround is to use PowerPoint Screen Recorder but this need additional screen capture.

The reason for Screen Recorder is Windows 10 Mouse Cursor for Office Menu item disappear when select Screen Capture App. It is cumbersome to show Tech Support what is selected on Office App on captured screen...

Thanks Ahead!
