Ok, that's an actual multiscreen setup - even with different screen.
I do not see how fluxbox could maximize across both screens and
cannot recall this ever happened to me.

Does this affect all clients or only specific ones?
What dimensions does the maximized window take (notably the height)
Can you dump xprop and xwininfo of such window?
And please also attach your ~/.fluxbox/init

Tremendously long list of open bugs and feature requests that needed to
be shrinked. But actually the code is lingering around there for a year.

This probably isn't implemented because the original code design is
tailored around a single toolbar and changing this will require code
modifications all over the place.
