I have a dual monitor setup.  The primary display (right) supports up to 1920x1080.  The secondary display (left) supports up to 3840x2160, but is normally kept at 1920x1080 for readability.  When I resize the secondary display for occasional 4k use, all of the windows from the primary display are moved to the secondary display.

Both monitors set to 1920x1080:

Steps to reproduce:

1: With a dual monitor setup, put windows on both displays at 1920x1080.
2: Select the resolution of the secondary display (left) as 3840x2160.
3: Drag the 4k display to the left of the 1080 display in Display settings, aligning the tops.
4: Click Apply.
