Resizing a window on the secondary monitor

When I try to resize a window on the secondary monitor connected to a MacBook Pro (macos 10.11.6), the window jumps to the primary monitor and is resized to some strange measurement. How to I resize the window, keeping it on the secondary monitor?

Scaling windows on extended displays beyond 1 monitor. Is this a setting? On old Mac Pro, extended displays allowed a virtually larger display allowing to enlarge a window between more than one monitor. With Mac mini 2020, it's running independent monitors without allowing scaling beyond 1 monitor. Is this a setting?

Mac Mini M1 + DisplayLink + Monterey 12.3 I've just installed Monterey 12.3 on a Mac Mini M1 16G. It has a displaylink adaptor driving 2x further displays. Everything working well previously. Now on main (HDMI) monitor I can't resize any window. On the two extended (DisplayLink) displays I can resize as normal - can even drag window from main display to an extended one, resize and drag back. Right click on backdrop doesn't work on main display either. I usually have a remote desktop session open full screen on one of the extended displays - this now minimises every time I open a safari window. Things seem utterly broken and I don't see an easy route to roll back?

External monitor won't display a browser window in full screen—it jumps back to MacBook Pro screen Watching a live video in a browser window on an external HDMI monitor. Works fine. But if I click the "zoom to full screen" button in the browser window, it goes to full screen—but on my MacBook Pro's screen. I can't get full screen on the external monitor. This doesn't happen with all feeds, but does with most of them.
