Without doing anything to change my settings my iMac 21.5-inch, 2017, running macOs Ventura 13.6 has suddenly begun shifting windows on my screen. When I open a window, then second window, the first one slides left off the screen. Help!

Control click on the app icon in the Dock— verify you are not locked in to a particular Desktop

Running a 16” 2021 Macbook Pro w/ Sonoma 14.5. Using an additional 21”-24” monitor. If I’m working on an app, (i.e. MS Word or a Browser) and pull in an open application from the side, the previous window slides to the side.
Sure, I can pull it back, resize it, blah, blah. I’d like control of moving these apps and browser windows around vs Apple thinking it’s doing me a favor, which it ain’t….especially if you’re running a Zoom mtg.
Not using Stacks, nor the “Clean-up” feature in View.
BTW - in the image above, options available to me are different:
*Keep in Doc
*Open at Login
*Show in Finder
Thoughts?
Thanks,
It looks like you have activated Stage Manager.
You can turn it on in System Settings->Desktop & Dock:
Thanks for all the help, guys!! The guide to adjust Mission Control settings in System Settings was the ticket!!

Thanks,
exactly the same thing randomly started happening today. Only it happens as I am typing. The screen just shift left. 12 times just to type this. and now it goes to the right side as well. so frustrating and I can't find a way to stop this shifting.
I didn't even know there was such a functionality just turned it off. It looks like I just left the twilight zone and can control my screen. Thanks for the tip! I'll reply again if something happens, but this is solution.
