Windows Automatically Resizing - How to Turn Off?

[Scott Baret]

I skipped many versions of Mac OS between my old Pro and new Neo. Now I have windows that want to resize on their own in this new version. I don't want this enabled. I can't seem to find a clear answer as to what to turn off. I have "Stage Manager" turned off so I'm not sure what I'm missing here. This feature really annoys me; if I want a window a particular size, I want it a particular size. How do I turn this off?

Can you explain what exactly is happening? I've never had windows resize automatically, unless you're talking about going full screen or maximizing?

Sounds like it might be Settings -> Desktop & Dock -> Drag windows to screen edges to tile

OK so I tried that but something weird still happened. I have Messages open on the Mac. I have it so it takes up the entire length of the screen. When I open Messages on my iPhone, the Messages window on the Mac becomes a half length.

Why?!?

Try disabling Mission Control - under the Desktop and Dock menu, scroll to the bottom and look at the Mission Control section. Maybe there's something there? Settings > Desktop and Dock > Scroll to bottom > Mission Control. I don't know if this will help, but maybe? Fingers crossed?
