Dragging tab from chromium no longer creates a new window in KDE or Ubuntu; cannot drop it onto chromium windows either

[Reuben Firmin]

Chromium used to allow you to drag a tab and either

a) drop it on the desktop to create a new chromium window
b) drop it on a chromium window to add it to that window

Neither option works now in either unity or KDE. In KDE it's particularly bad, as the being-dragged window sticks to the mouse cursor, making most mouse operations impossible.

Reuben,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Chromium since that time. Your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

It would help us a lot if you could test on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once in a terminal:

apport-collect 999632

and add any additional information that you think relevant. Alternatively, please confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the report. If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately two months time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
