App Pop ups on the right screen edge

Apps in use on a MacBookPro with Sonoma 14.0

Apps auto reveal on the right hand side of the screen as the cursur passes over that area, which in its self is a not unattractive feature. But this impedes use of the scroll down bar which then sits behind the Apps such as Browser, Numbers & Mail etc. Making using websites and Mail problematic.


Q: How can i disable this feature either temporarily or permanently?

What you describe is called the Dock. You can adjust its behaviour in System Settings / Desktop and Dock.


For example you could choose to show it on the bottom or left of the screen rather than on the right. You could have it always visible or not (like you have now). Test the options.
