Yeah, it is so subtle I don't think many people notice. You have to be going so slow that you would only see it if you were actually trying to line up window borders.

Adding to those two replies:

Press and hold an Option key while positioning those windows. That overrides the "snapping" effect as one window nears the other.

My previous reply was based upon the Auto Notification from Apple as per below

Thank you, did the trick!

Which not longer is appearing on this question

Ok and onto the issue at hand.

The Green Button in below and Mouse Over it will present 3 options

1 - Full Screen of that application

2 - Tile Window to Left of Screen

3 - Tile Window to Right Of Screen

If the user has 2 Applications Open and in use at the Same Time and choose the Tile that will present Two Open Windows side by side and then will reset in " snapping against each other "

In macOS there is a very subtle snapping that can be pushed through. It is only apparent when slowly approaching some boundary. If you drag fast, it won't snap at all. And, it doesn't "snap" as much as it pauses so that you can align window boundaries.

If that does not describe what you are seeing, then you have some third-party system modification doing that.

I never had this snapping behaviour when i was on El Capitan.

Correct. That feature was not present in El Cap; it was introduced in Sierra.

It was based on (to be fair, ripped off from) a company that introduced it as a system add-on to emulate what was then a native MS Windows "snap" feature that was introduced in Windows version 7. The product was called "WindowMagnet" and remains available today, under a different name. It was popular enough with Mac users that people requested Apple do the same thing, and Apple complied.

This goes back a little over ten years ago.

Surely there must be a way to disable this feature?

Surely there isn't. And don't call me Surely.

As someone who works with multiple windows open all the time, I really need things to be smooth and not snap.

My unsolicited advice: don't get used to windows. They're going away.

We'll cope.

Welcome ? S o issue was solved permanently ?

AFAICT, windows snapping is not basic OS functionality, which leads to wonder if you have some third part window manager installed, like Manet, Moom or others.
