Hi Khalid!

I think the term is "window tile snapping"

I did a quick search and it seems an older post asking how to enable it 
points to:

Settings Manager > Window Manager > Advanced

And there one should be able to find relevant options to enable / disable.


KDE does this to me too and I'm undecided on whether I like it or not.

I grab the titlebar of the fullscreen'd app and pull down a bit and it 
un-full-screens.


Best of luck.
