how do I disable automatic window resizing in Sequoia

Disabling the tiling option has no effect and tiling continues regardless.

So, so very annoying feature indeed!!!

Oh thank God ! Thank you for answering and helping me out - I hated it.

You're a Star !

Another terrible 'default on' feature that nobody asked for. Now disabled.

I completely agree. SW interoperability and compatibility is an incredibly complex subject, so you need to be able to take a look at a lot of different configs and user experiences to make these determinations. Thanks for the help.

@dialabrain It's a Sequoia issue in any case. Why would Dell's DDPM software start behaving differently from how it did for more than a year?

Because macOS Sequoia changed and Dell's software didn't.

I'm not blaming Apple for this, but any major change can have inadvertent consequences.

Apple does not write macOS and add features to stay compatible with third-party software. It's up to third-party software vendors to remain compatible with the latest versions. It's very simple.

Love to customize things. But please, let us choose what we want.

Apple has never made a new feature off by default. Maybe the Application Firewall, but that’s completely useless so maybe doesn’t count.

OMG this was irritating. I have a 49" curved monitor and having everything span the entirety of the screen was awful, it always took a little bit extra to fix it. Going to the system settings and turning off tiling was the cure. I did double check that the DDPM software wasn't there and it wasn't thank goodness.

The resizing behavior happens to me any time I try to move a window, whether it hits the top of the screen or not.

The window tiling feature of Sequoia doesn't do that. It should only do that when you hit an edge. Even then, it doesn't tile unless you release it with the tile showing. Move a little and the tile marquee disappears.

D.S. Cobb: Thanks for your solution! I disabled tiling, but that didn't work. I had no idea it would be the monitor until I read your post. I have a Dell and followed your instructions and the automatic resizing stopped.

Wouldn’t that be nice if it was true. I am not the only one here reporting the issue. I rarely get the marquee. It just resizes. The whole 48”. I have tried always moving down first just to be sure it isn’t resizing as a result of hitting the top. Nope. Doesn’t help.

I’ve also seen reported here where people with Dell monitors have some sort of software installed. That does automatically resize the window when you move it.There is a momentary delay before the marquee appears and if you only delay that long and it is essentially popping up, but you don’t see it Then it would do that to you and appear to be instantaneous, but it’s not

Thank you!

You're welcome.

thanks. this was driving me absolutely batty.
