Windows and Apps Auto-Resizing When Moved – How to Disable This? (macOS Sequoia 15.0)

Since updating to macOS Sequoia 15.0, I've noticed that windows and apps are automatically resizing when I drag and move them around the screen. The issue is especially frustrating when the window fills the entire screen unexpectedly, interrupting my workflow. This behavior started with the latest update.

Does anyone know how to disable this feature or stop the auto-resizing?

I'd appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this!

Thank you!

That's the new window tiling feature. You can turn it off in System Settings > Windows > Tile by dragging windows to screen edges

Good call, after quitting DDPM (Dell Display & Peripheral Manager), window tiling is now turned completely off. Thanks!

There are a few posts indicating Dell software does this, too.

Uninstall the Dell software, or ask them how to turn off their window management.

I'm also trying to turn window tiling off, but unchecking the "Tile by dragging windows to screen edges" didn't help - even after rebooting. Is there some other option that controls this? I also turned off the "Hold Option key" and "Tiled Windows have margins" options. I'm running 15.0.1 on a 2023 Mac mini with dual Dell U2723QE monitors. Thanks!
