Re: Snap window to other windows borders, moving windows

[Norman L Smith <nls1729 gmail com>]

Hello,

I believe you are referring to edge-tiling.  You will need dconf-editor
(I don't believe it is installed by default). After installation of
dconf-editor, it will appear in the Sundry group of the applications
menu.

Execute dconf Editor.

Select:

gnome
     shell
         overrides

Un-check edge-tiling.

This should disable the effects you are experiencing.

You can install gnome-tweak-tool to enable Maximize
and Minimize buttons for Windows which you will need as
moving a window to or away from the top panel will not
max or min the window when edge-tiling is disabled.

Hope this is helpful.

Norman
