I'm using a window snapping/resizing app and this feature above, introduced in El Capitan, is being triggered instead. This when I snap a window to the center top of the screen.

Is there a way to turn this feature off?


Solution 1:

According to the Reddit thread, Is there any way to disable Mission Control coming up when I drag a window to the top of the screen?, the solution is:

System Preferences > Mission Control

Uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces" then log out and back in again.

It works, I had the same issue & now it's sorted.

Solution 2:

Haven't found out how to disable just the window drag activation but you can turn it off entirely with:

Disable:

defaults write com.apple.dock mcx-expose-disabled -bool TRUE && killall Dock

Enable:

defaults delete com.apple.dock mcx-expose-disabled && killall Dock
