Window maximizes at top

#1 Post by MX_GRD »

Just installed MX-23 after years of MX-18.

If I grab a window I can move it to the right, left, and bottom past the edges without snapping; however, if I move it to the top, the window maximizes, if I back down a little it returns to default size. I would like the window to behave as the others.
I've check Tweak and forum.

I believe what your looking for is in Window Manager Tweaks, on the Accessibility tab and uncheck
Automatically Tile Windows when Moving Towards the Screen Edge.
*QSI = Quick System Info from menu (Copy for Forum)
*MXPI = MX Package Installer
*Please check the solved checkbox on the post that solved it.

Well, I'll be; Window Manager Tweaks has different tabs then MX-Tools -> Tweaks -> Window Manager.
