Unable to Move Tab, Creates New Window Instead on Chromium Browser

[J. Austin Rodriguez]

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

This occurs if you have multiple tabs open in a single window. When you try to move a tab either to the left or to the right, it instead creates a new window. The only way to move it back is to click the "Restore" window control button of the original window to unmaximize it and then drag the tab (that was apparently removed from it) to it.

The version of Chromium Web Browser in which this bug was tested is 9.0.597.98 (74359) on an Ubuntu 10.10 notebook.

However, this did not occur when it was tested on a Lubuntu machine with the same daily (stable) build.

I believe this bug should be reported upstream. I created this bug report for someone's reference.

This bug still occurs randomly. If you're trying to recreate it, open several tabs in one window then drag one out of the group. Maximize the newly created window and try to drag back the tab to the original group. It won't.

My version of Chromium has been upgraded to 10.0.648.127 (76697) Ubuntu 10.10 but the problem still occurs. Anyone can confirm this?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
