When I have a window on the left, using Windows+ and I use my mouse or keyboard to snap another window to the right it joins the two windows at the centre. Now moving the centre resizes both windows. How do I stop that? I want them to be independent so I can overlap the windows slightly.

When you have the 2 windows left and right, grab the top title bar of the left window and drag it to the right and back to the left. It will now be bigger and the its right edge will no longer be connected to the left edge of the second window. At this point either window can be made wider without affecting the other.

It's tedious, but there is a workaround:

  1. Super+ (move right within group)
  2. Super+ (maximize)
  3. Super+ (create new group)
  4. Super+ (move left within group)

Indeed it would still be preferable to prevent grouping in the first place.
