New design make it impossible to use drag to snap feature of windows

Reported by ohm...@traditionasia.com, Sep 24

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open new tab for more than 6 (7 should be OK)
2. Try "drag to snap" feature of windows 7+ to the far left or right or top side of the screen.

What is the expected behavior?
it should allow you to maximize it, stand side-by-side or stretch it vertically

What went wrong?
Because of there is no room to do that it pull out the tab and make it new windows instead

Did this work before? Yes Before the new design

Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100  Channel: stable

ohm.cm@ Thanks for the issue.

Tested this issue on Windows 10 on the reported version 69.0.3497.100 and the latest Canary 71.0.3561.0 by following the below steps.

1. Launched Chrome and opened 7 tabs.
2. Tried to drag the Chrome Window to far left and right and could snap the window without any issues.
3. Tried to drag a tab to the far left and right and could observe that the tab is getting opened as a new window.
Attached is the screen cast for reference.

Request you to check and confirm the issue. Also a screen cast of the steps followed will be helpful in better understanding of the issue.

Thanks..

@susan.boorgula Thanks for your screencast
Actually, That is another whole new issue apart from my issue and should be open as a new ticket (Also you don't have to open 7 or 8 tab. In this case more than 1 tab will cause this problem)

For my issue, it is about there is no area to do a screen snap from title bar easily especially when maximized (apart from the far right of title bar before the minimize button.)

Thanks

This is most likely working as intended though, as the aspect had been debated several times during the design process.
Seach "drag handle" here for past discussions and possible duplicates, like  issue 878932 .

It seems like the issue is having a sufficient place to drag the window around from.

The easiest place is the space reserved between the new tab button and the caption buttons.  We leave a 50 px gap here so you can grab and move the window.  This is what I'd recommend.

There's also some amount of space above inactive tabs (much less above the active tab), though it's a bit trickier to target.

Using those handles, I can still snap the window.
Ah, so the gap between the new tab button and the caption buttons is intended for this purpose it seems. I didn't notice that...
