As the OP wrote, the first issue is due to window snapping. The second
issue is probably due to *clicking* the map wheel when you're over a
link, rather than rolling the wheel when you're over it. XFCE I believe
has a setting that clicking on a link with the wheel will visit that
link. It's probably configurable somewhere. Maybe in the mouse section
of the control panel?

Last fall I upgraded both my laptop and my desktop to ubuntu 18.4

desktop environment.
Ever since, I have no idea what using my mouse is going to actually do.
The specific problems are:
When I move a window by dragging with the left button in the title
bar, often instead of just moving the window, it puts the window
into full-screen mode.
When I scroll a page in the gpoogle-chrome browser by using the
mouse scroll wheel, it often opens links I have scrolled over. I've
never managed to see this actually happen; usually I look up at the
list of tabs and there are suddenly a dozen tabs I didn't open.
Since it happens on two different computers with several different
mouses, I'm pretty sure it's software and not hardware.
Is there a way to either turn these behaviors off, or to figure out what
triggers them so that they don't happen unless I want them?
