One serious annoyance that cannot be turned off
This is a pretty good application that does what it says. But it has one peculiar feature that is so annoying it makes Magnet essentially unusable for me. The problem is that when you move a window manually (dragging it with the mouse) and you happen to slide it all the way up to the top of the screen with a move that causes the cursor encroach even a little bit into the menu bar, then Magnet suddenly does an unexpected “maximize” on the window, blowing it up to almost full screen. That hides all the other windows you were trying to expose by moving the target window in the first place. After processing this unexpected surprise you then have to restore the window to the size you want and to the location you want. And you have try yet again to remember that in order to move a window to the top of the screen you must use an excessively precise mouse movement, making sure that the cursor does not encroach on the menu bar. This is totally unnatural because the casual, imprecise upward movement of the mouse to move a window all the way up is reflexively ingrained into the nervous system of essentially everyone. I would strongly request that the developers make this feature optional, so that we can turn it off. Otherwise Magnet does more harm than good for me.
