After Sequoia, pages now goes to full screen

I updated to Sequoia 15.0 (my Mac now says it is up to date) and I have the same problem as Brian7358. If I open a pages document and I want to move the whole document to the right side of the screen, adjusting size and position on screen so I can see all that I have on the screen, it automatically jumps into full screen mode. All I'm doing is putting the mouse arrow on the upper right corner of my document and trying to drag the document to the right, I'm not touching any of the arrows etc. The pages document jumps to full screen and I have to take time to put the mouse arrow again and make the page smaller. Is there a fix for this please?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.0

Is everything on System Settings > Accessibility > Zoom panel disabled?

In System Settings > Desktop & Dock panel:

Double-click a window's title bar to either minimize or Do Nothing?
Drag windows to menu bar to fill screen is off?

Are you clicking the green "traffic light" on the open document title bar? Or pressing control+cmd+F to enter/exit full screen?

And just to add, you can disable that Sequoia v15 default issue by visiting:

System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Windows > Tile by dragging windows to screen edges (⦿=) (off)

On macOS 15.0, when I drag an open Pages document against the right screen window boundary, it offers the hint outline of expanding to half of my 32-inch display – which it does if I release the mouse in that position. The trick is to not touch the screen boundary in Sequioa when moving the Pages window.

The setting (I think) in 15.1 is worded "Drag windows to screen edges to tile." I have this turned off and windows in Apple Mail and Safari are still automatically jumping to full screen and it's really annoying.
