It looks to me like your two XRandR screens are overlapping.
That probably means if you try to move a client to the right off
the edge of the screen, it'll take up the entire screen (either
over or under any clients in the smaller area). As for the
menus, they always open on whichever screen has the mouse. Try,

     xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of LVDS1
