I'm using XFCE 4.10 (Xubuntu 13.10), when I drag any window to the top of the screen, it gets tiled to half desktop, like this:

Also when I drag the window to the left or right, it doesn't stick vertically.

How can I have it maximize windows when tiling them on the top or bottom of the screen?

"How can I solve it?" If I take your meaning sir, you are displeased by two default Window Manager settings. One can be found in Settings Manager -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Accessibility -> Automatically tile windows when moving toward the screen edge. For the other, perhaps you are thinking of Settings Manager -> Window Manager -> Advanced -> Wrap workspaces when dragging a window off the screen.

I think the answer is in the (question in the) following link: xubuntu 12.10 window tiling shortcuts

"To align a window to left/right/top/bottom half of a screen with mouse you should go to 'settings editor' -> 'xfwm4' and uncheck 'wrap_windows' property. Now you can drag window beyond the edge of the screen to tile it."

The property you want is called 'maximize_window_key' in your xfce4-keyboard-shortcut settings. The default is - <Alt>F10.
