Does Microsoft still own a patent for window snapping? Could this be why windows on Sequoia don't snap exactly at the screen border but leave a gap of a few pix

- jwells89 2y agoAs noted in another comment thread, there's a setting to disable margins when tiling so that's probably not an issue. IIRC Microsoft and Apple have a patent-sharing agreement (which is why MS Surface products have MagSafe-cousin power plugs). It probably has more to do with how tiling with no margins with rounded window corners looks kinda awkward and entirely obscures the desktop, which is a bit more of a pillar UI element on macOS than it is on Windows and Windows-analogue DEs.
