Q: Split view not working (separate spaces enabled), why?

I have El Capitan.

 

For my main user split view does not activate when I hold the green arrow button.

 

I made another "test" user on the same machine, and split view works for him. What may be the reason?

 

P.S. All my search showed that I should enable "displays have separate spaces", but it *is* enabled. So why it doesn't work?

    That would normally indicate you have something installed for your user that is causing the problem. It would be something that starts at login and only runs in your account.

    It would be in your Login Items in Users & Groups, or in your ~/Library/LaunchAgents folder.

    Or, you can run this program which will show you what you have installed. You can also "share" it with us by copying to Clipboard (using the Share button) and pasting it into a reply here.  http://etrecheck.com
