I need some help disabling two features on my Mac that I find really frustrating. When I click on the desktop, all my open windows get split to the left and right of the screen, which is super distracting. Also, whenever I click or double-click on a window, it instantly goes fullscreen, even if I just want to watch a video on YouTube. I've tried searching for solutions but couldn't find them because I don't even know what these features are called. I'm using macOS Sequoia 15.5 on a Mac mini, by the way. Here's a video showing the features I'm talking about: [https://imgur.com/a/PCAuR0d](https://imgur.com/a/PCAuR0d). Any tips on how I can turn these off?

It sounds like you might want to disable Stage Manager. Go to your System Settings, find the stage manager option, and turn it off. That should help with the window splitting issue. Let me know if that works!
I just checked, and Stage Manager is already off!
