This annoying behavior started happening in 10.8 or 10.9 and I'd like to turn it off and make it never ever happen again.
What happens is that when dragging a window from one display to another, when I let go of the mouse button on the second monitor, the window doesn't stay where I left it upon mouse button release, but instead it snaps to the top of the screen where I did not position it.
Does anyone have any idea how to disable this annoying setting?
Thanks in advance.

Very annoying indeed and it's getting worse. The situation I am in is trying to view webpages in different screen widths. As the browser edge gets closer to other windows, Mac now thinks it must "jump to and hold it there" interrupting my process of expanding the page through every pixel width.
There is no setting to manage this yet, however, holding +alt while you scale or move windows dismisses the feature. The very nice bonus of dismissing the 'feature' with alt is how much video/CPU time it took to implement this nuisance is released back to your use. The dragging and re-positioning now becomes much more responsive and smooth rather than just jumping around the screen. It's now a habit to just hold alt as I resize any window on the screen.
