Since updating this morning when I move windows around on my cinematic display they JUMP to full screen if I even get close to the top of the screen. How do I make this STOP!

Thanks for confirming, @d.s.cobb! That's exactly the faulty behavior I had reported via Apple Feedback.
Here, it's a Mac Mini M2 Pro with a Dell UltraSharp 40" monitor (U4021QW). And that turned out to be the problem.
As suggested by Dell, I had installed Dell's DDPM software, and allowed it to open automatically on startup. That software has a feature called EasyArrange which allows, among other things, window tiling just like in Sequoia. I've never used it, though, and wasn't aware it was seemingly turned on (maybe it wasn't). For more than a year, it hasn't caused any issues.
Now that changed when updating to Sequoia. Don't ask me how this is possible, but the new macOS window tiling feature seems to have enabled the DDPM EasyArrange feature, with no way of disabling it.
From there on, fixing the issue was easy: Quit DDPM, and the nasty behavior immediately goes away. Go to Settings, Login Items & Extensions, Open at Login, and remove DDPM, so that it doesn't load on startup. Problem solved. This also explains why most people in this thread didn't encounter the problem the way I did.
Thank you!
Me too! I hate this. I work on an iMac all day and am now wasting time to resize windows when I only intended to relocate them. This should be automatically off.
You're welcome.
thanks. this was driving me absolutely batty.
Seems to work for others and myself.
Worked for me!
Indeed. 😎
Tried disabling it, but still run into the same issue. I even disabled the other options just in case, but nothing. I am using the OS 24A335.
I tried it, but it doesn't solve the issue.
This doesn't work, at least not on a Mac Mini M2 Pro.
Thanks, DialABrain, you're a saint. <---AI spellchecker wanted to change "saint" to "martyr." Which is it? 🤣
GAWD, that's an annoying default setting! Geez!
👍
@dialabrain Never assume everyone's using the exact same setup as you. (In my case, it was a combination of Dell's DDPM monitor software and the Sequoia update that caused this hard-to-debug issue.)
Apple makes betas of new software available to vendors months ahead of a new release. It's up to vendors/developers to take advantage of that.
Sorry, I can't help you.
how do I disable automatic window resizing in Sequoia
