I am finding the way a window expands to full screen view on High Sierra to be a real pain but cannot seem to disable this anywhere, anyone any idea on this?
Thanks
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
Are you creting a new space by dragging a program off the desktop and creating a new space? That will switch a program to full screen. That can't be disabled. Just make sure you don't drag the program off the small desktop that displays at the top of the screen.

Here's a screen shot which may help. I dragged Safari to the top of the screen…

Safari is on the right. If I let it go while it is "off' the Desktop it will expand to full screen. If it is over the Desktop and you release the mouse, it will not.
The "any" window expands when dragged to the top of the screen "A semi transparent blue bubble spreads across the screen first", in any program! This happens when the cursor goes into the top menu bar... which cannot be helped many times when moving windows around the desktop! I find this very irritating and cannot believe this would be added without an option for disabling!
Thanks
The only way I know to switch to full screen is to click the green grow button.
In what program? Mine do not switch to full screen when dragged to the top of the screen. Nor does Apple say it will.
Thanks but I don't want to switch to full size! My issue is that when I drag a window to the top of the screen it goes full size automatically and I find it irritating, I am trying to disable this from happening!
