Windows resize to maximum for no reason On High Sierra, from time to time, my current window maximizes itself without any keyboard or mouse dragging. Mostly it is in browsers. I use both Chrome and Firefox. I hate this and want it to stop. If I want a window to resize, I will do it myself. Any suggestions? Have not been able to find similar issues.
Are you accidentally double clicking the window's title bar?
In modern versions of macOS, double clicking a window's title bar mimics the behavior of the old &quot;Zoom&quot; button that was semi-replaced in OS X Yosemite. I find that I sometimes activate this behavior accidentally.
To disable the behavior, go to System Preferences ➞ Dock and uncheck &quot;Double-click a window's title bar to (Zoom)&quot;
