I believe this was also fixed in Tk 8.4.8+, can you try this
with Tk 8.4.9 and see if you have the same problems?

I can't repro, because if I click on the Windows taskbar item,
since it is already active, it minimizes everything (which is
what I would expect).  So I'm not able to drag the outer
toplevel without the dropdown behaving "as expected".
