Hi Khalid!
I think the term is "window tile snapping"

I did a quick search and it seems an older post asking how to enable it
points to:
Settings Manager > Window Manager > Advanced
And there one should be able to find relevant options to enable / disable.
KDE does this to me too and I'm undecided on whether I like it or not.
I grab the titlebar of the fullscreen'd app and pull down a bit and it
un-full-screens.
Best of luck.
