Why do the Spaces change?

[xi mezmerize ix]

Whenever I move a window into the corner of my screen (i.e. when I change my desktop wallpaper and move the sys pref window out of the way to see how it looks) my screen switches to a different "space." How do I stop this from happening? Hot corners are off BTW.

You can turn off Spaces from System Preferences

But I like using spaces. Is there a way to get rid of my problem but still keeping spaces enabled?

I don't think there's a way to turn off the switching when you move a window to the very edge of the screen. It just thinks you're trying to move it to the other space. You could hide the window (CMD H) instead.

why don't you just use 4-finger swipe upwards to reveal the desktop? or switch to a blank space. or hide the system preferences window with command-h
