Dragging a tab automatically detaches it from the window (xfce)
Reported by kics...@gmail.com, Dec 18 2009 Back to list
Chrome Version       : 4.0.266.0 (Official Build 33992)
OS + version : Arch linux (using deb build)
CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 32-bit
window manager : Xfce

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch the browser
2. Open a few tabs
3. Start dragging one to reorder

What is the expected result?

Dragging the tab horizontally reorders the tabs.

What happens instead?

The tab is instantly detached, as if it were dragged to create a new window. 

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot
and backtrace if possible.

Keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+PageUp/PageDown works as expected.

Everything works fine on a secondary monitor. (The issue is still there when 
additional displays aren't involved)

Also, tabs from other windows cannot be reattached. 

The problem is probably detecting that the mouse is over the tabs bar.

Similar issue 31461 is no longer a factor, behavior is correct in e17+ecomp ... is this still an issue with xfce?

Elliott, do you have Xfce handy to test this on?  I wonder if Lucid has a new enough Xfce as well.

Can't repro in XFCE on lucid. Marking obsolete.

Can reproduce now in XFCE 4.6 and e17 ... chromium 9.0.571. See issue 31461 for more thorough writeup
I am using Google Chrome version 10.0.648.114 beta. I have this problem when using FVWM 2.4.20 but not when using Xfce 4.6.1. My distribution is Slackware 13.0. Reordering tabs does not work and the tab is detached every time I try to drag it.

@13: Please file a new bug for fvwm.  Also, as a work around, you can use ctrl+shift+{pageup,pagedown} to reorder tabs.
I'm using chrome 11.0.686.1 dev; DISTRO: Arch Linux 2010.05; WM: enlightenment e17 0.16.999.57289 and I also have that annoying bug. Please reopen :(

Using Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS and 10.0.648.134. Still able to produce behavior. 
I have a new install of Ubuntu 12.04 and am having this problem also.  It is exactly as reported by Reported by kics...@gmail.com, Dec 18, 2009.

Please reopen or send me a link to a solution.
