Q: I can't seem to put my email into split view.

I have tried over and over but I can't put my email into split view.  Is this a glitch?  Is anyone else having a problem or am I just doing it wrong?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)

    It's a tad bit tricky, but if you are getting anything else in Split View, then I assume you know how to do it.

    Otherwise, press and hold the green dot until the window shrinks (or shows the drop zone on whichever side of the display your cursor is on). Then drop Mail there. Then, click on another window on that desktop to put on the other half of the screen. If you don't pick one, then Mail will just go to Full Screen.

    I have tried to hold down the green button but it doesn't do anything.  It just enlarges mail to full screen.  I can get Safari into split screen and then I click on mail on the screen and it just goes to full screen behind my split screen.  It's weird.  Maybe I'll try rebooting.  Haven't done that yet.

    Okay rebooting seemed to have helped with my problem.  Thanks so much for helping Barney-15E.
