red/green/yellow circle (Hover over not working on those)

When using my macAir; I use to be able to hover over the green circle on a window then it would give me other options to move screens, split view etc. I do not get any options now.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

crw777,


Good to know! We like how you're narrowing this down.


Let's keep working on this mystery. Next we'd want to start your Mac in safe mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac. The first section lets you know what safe mode does. If it works correctly while in safe mode, check out the section "If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode" and look at your login items.


We hope that resolves your issue!

Hello, and welcome to Apple Support Communities crw777,


You've mentioned that you're not seeing a preview when your overing over the left side of the Menu Bar.


Let's check a quick setting! Go to Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Dock & Menu Bar > Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen. If this is selected, let's uncheck it and see if you're now able to see the previews or options you need.


Cheers!
