Windows 8.1 Oddity (first time user of 8.1)

Something changed on The Lovely Lady's brand new Windows 8.1 computer.
 
On some windows (i.e. Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer...) when you grab the window header to move the window on the desktop and drag the window anywhere (WITHOUT touching any edge of the monitor) a big 1 appears (she only has one monitor) and there is a thin red line surrounding the desktop and when you let go of the header the window automatically maximizes.
 
To our knowledge nothing has changed since yesterday (when a move of a small window DID NOT do that).
 
WTH?

    I've never seen or heard this one.
    The Windows 8 forums would be the best place to ask about this problem.

    Either
     
    a) default to desktop mode
    b) restore point, removed some installs that were not really needed.
     
    stoooopidly I did both at once. Since it's fixed I don't really care to determine the exact root cause.
