My windows keep expanding to near-full screen upon first touching the trackpad.

It happens every few touches. Started with the upgrade to Sequoia. I'll touch the trackpad to start working in a window, and that window will suddenly expand to almost full screen. I tried resetting the default size (Ctrl F5), but that does "hold" next session.

iMac 24″, macOS 15.0

Sounds like the new tiling feature. Try turning it off:

System Settings -> Desktop & Dock -> Tile by dragging windws to screen edges OFF


You can still do it while holding the Alt Option key and dragging windows. They will snap full screen, left, right, and top, bottom.
