Open programs now showing on left side of screen

What has happened here? Now when I move my mouse over to the left side of the screen open programs appear. Also I can now only have one open program on my desktop. If I have Photos open and choose Finder it minimizes Photos instead of overlaying it. I can find no solution. Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

so I think I hear you saying, "this needs an indication that Stage Manager is active" and writing a note to that effect to the Product Feedback team, here:

It was in "Desktop and Dock" and "Stage Manager". It got turned on, certainly not by me. Really aggravating that I spent a couple of hours on this. This stuff happens and you have no idea even what to call it in order to correct it. I was not even able to take a screen shot on the macbook as when I would open that it would close everything else. Had to use my iPhone for the pic. Good grief!
