How do I disable the behaviour where dragging a window to the top of the screen creates additional virtual desktops? (lemmy.ml)

Just got a new mac and while I had disabled this on my old one, everything's moved around and I can't figure out how to get rid of this.

I don't use the multiple desktops thing and I like to use the Magnet app for window snapping. At the moment I can't drag the window to the top of the screen to make it occupy the full size of the screen using Magnet because instead it opens up the ribbon at the top for managing multiple desktops.

I'm not sure you can turn it off. What I have noticed though, is that if you gently put the window at the top, it'll hang there for long enough for Magnet to snap the window, but if you throw it at the bar it'll activate Mission Control.

That's frustrating. I also noticed that on this version of Mac OS, with After Effects at least, Magnet control of the window seems not to work. Using the ctrl + enter command does nothing and gently dragging to nearly the top of the screen doesn't do anything either. Seems to work fine with other apps like web browsers and Finder though.

Or more to the point, if you put the window at the top of the screen, then push up a bit more, that's when Mission Control activates.
