Suddenly I cannot drag tabs to another browser window anymore

@deloreskstaple It is not a bug or a glitch it is just a change done in some version on how tabs behave and work.

Since it was not reverted so far I assume the changes were made on purpose or were a side effect of some other changes but deemed OK and not a bug. It is beyond me why. The behavior of tabs is quite universal in all chromium based browsers and I would expect Opera to not degrade with time on such basic features.

With the latest Opera updates tabs got even more unusable for tablet users, since the close button of a tab only appears on mouser hover.

Yep. With any other modern browser it is like 10x smoother experience when doing basic stuff with tabs. Like dragging them from Window to other, or creating new windows.

So, we have a new update
....and instead any of these issues with tabs would be fixed, it just introduces new one(s)

This is unbelievable bad development. And I don't see there is much of hope that it gets any better anytime soon.

@khellstre I also don't know. The topic is from 12th march.
So if after 6 months they want to determine if the issue is specific to somebody's system (taking into account that I also posted the same issue in the blog and the issue is clear), no comments here. The issue is confirmed already here on forum and in the blog but they advice getting support on community forum.

Will these issues with tabs to be addressed any time soon?

Asking because the latest updates have just bought more issues and I will be forced to change my browsers if these things are not being fixed.

Is there any estimate when these issues with tabs could be fixed?
Or is the developer's viewpoint that there aren't any issues, but just features?

Hi

I am also facing the same issue with my browser whenever I open any site. Yesterday I was trying to Shop online and was unable to drag tabs to another browser.

It started to use Vivaldi. It solved all these problems with Opera
It is a great browser from some original developers of Opera.

@khellstre yes, I reported multiple times already in the blog. But still without result.
It works correctly not only Vivaldi, but also in Chrome, FireFox and Edge.
