How to stop GIMP snaaping to desktop title bar in Mac os 10.15

[Ranger1951]

I am running GIMP 2.10.38 on iMac running OS 10.15 Catalina. When opened, GIMP work space windows keeps 'snapping' to the desktop title bar. Thus hiding all other open windows / apps.

Can anyone suggest a fix, please? Thank you.

Not sure someone will find a fix here, you might want to look on a mac/apple forum website.
Anyway my suggestion would be to put GIMP on its own work space, it won't hide other opened app and if you use the "hot corners" you can assign one to switch spaces, it would be just a mouse move to a hot corner or a swap on the mouse to switch space

Same comment as PixLab, no Mac users to answer questions so my two euros worth.

The Window snapping problem will be a MacOS thing. If you do a search, an example: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254...ortBy=best and other suggestions as https://www.elevatecreative.agency/autom...on-window/

From a Gimp point of view and your screenshot.

Up to the user to arrange docks but you will run into trouble trying to set up a PS look-alike. If you resize the Tools icons dock to maybe two icons wide you can decrease the overall Gimp window height to provide a margin top and bottom. Believe me, you also need a Tool Options dock somewhere but that is another question.

In the Preferences options (under GIMP menu on a Mac) you can make Gimp open with a "remembered" window size. Resize the Gimp window. Look for Window Management in Preferences. Untick Save Window Positions on Exit. Click on Save Window Positions now . Might / might not help.

I'm not sure what changed but GIMP 2.10 work space window no longer snaps to Desktop Title Bar.  I can position it as I wish to work between several open windows (GIMP and other apps) concurrently. 

Thank you.

Not sure if it is a fix, but do you have gimp in full screen?

Thank you, 'rich2005',  your GIMP Preferences/ 'remembered window' tip seems to have done the trick.  I wasn't tryi9ng the sert a a PSE look-alike window space. Thank you again.
