Unable to resize windows of split screen

According to the help article: Use two Mac apps side by side in Split View


"Adjust window width by dragging the vertical line between the windows."


I'm unable to do this. The curser does switch to the "resize" arrow, but clicking and dragging does nothing. Any idea why?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

Hello tgun1985,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to adjust window width when using the Split View feature on your Mac. You can figure out if unexpected behavior is related to a user file or setting by trying to reproduce the issue from another user account. This process includes creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.

Next, use safe mode to start up your Mac as it does the following things:



  • Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
  • Loads only required kernel extensions
  • Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
  • Disables user-installed fonts
  • Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files



Log in to your user account and test the issue while in safe mode and then restart normally and test the issue again.



Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac
