Annoying window behaviour (SOLVED)

Since moving from Devuan to PCLinuxOS (both using XFCE), I find myself plagued by a new window behaviour which I find most annoying:

When I move a window to the top of the desktop, it automatically maximises, and I find myself unable to have a non-maximised window in that position.

I also find windows moving from one workspace to another if I get to a side edge of the screen.

I have looked in vain in the Windows Manager, Window Manager Tweaks and Desktop of the XGCE Settings.

Is there a way to stop these annoying behaviours ?

Re: Annoying window behaviour (SOLVED)

When I move a window to the top of the desktop, it automatically maximises, and I find myself unable to have a non-maximised window in that position.

Have a look at Settings Manager > Window Manager Tweaks > Accessibility tab, specifically the following settings:

• Hide frame of window when maximized

• Hide title of windows when maximized

• Automatically tile windows when moving toward the screen edge

...and adjust to suit.

I also find windows moving from one workspace to another if I get to a side edge of the screen.

If you want to restrict window movement to the current workspace and not allow wrapping, then Settings Manager > Window Manager > Advanced tab, and uncheck "Wrap workspaces when reaching the screen edge > With a dragged window".
