This is the expected behavior when you drag a window to the top
of the screen. 

In XFCE Settings, Window Manager, Advanced: 
uncheck Windows Snapping to Screen Borders
and
go to Wrap Workspaces When Reaching Screen Edge
and either unclick With A Dragged Window
or reduce Edge Resistance to a very small value.

You may also get a good result with Window Manager Tweaks:
Accessibility, unclick Automatically tile windows when moving
toward screen edge.
