Cannot tear tabs off to create new windows

Open mlissner opened this issue 7 years ago • 7 comments

STR:

  1. Open a new tab
  2. Load a webpage into the tab.
  3. Drag the tab from the sidebar off of the browser

Expected results: A new window should be created containing that tab.

Actual results: The tab just goes back to where it started.

This is a common workflow that I use and which was supported on the original tabcenter.

Not sure how this is handled by Firefox, maybe not possible. Needs investigation!

Can you add the D-tabcenter-parity label? This issue is also very important for me.

FWIW, Tree Style Tabs does this.

This is how TST does it. Looks like a lot of code. Not sure if the license allows blatantly copying it, but that would probably be the easiest solution.

Previous implementation was here: 19217f9... but it was backed out due to bugs that I encounteted. So far no progress because few people have complained :P

I personally would like to see this feature implemented and may try myself on the implementation / bugfixing some time, but I think it's not really important. Just a nice to have.

Yeah, I definitely implore you to give it a shot! It's been a long time since this was reported.
