When dragging a tab from a maximised window to a new window, the new window always maximises

Description

When you have an application like Chromium where you can drag tabs away from the current window to create a new window, the new window for the dragged tab always maximises.

It seems the new window copies all flags, but by doing that it changes the expected behaviour. If you drag the original window the window restores to the original size with a position under the current cursor and if you release the mouse button it stays on that current position. I would assume that dragging one of the tabs to a new window would have the same behaviour, however as said if you release the mouse button for a dragged tab the window maximises.
