      Moving the GX Corner to sidebar solved my problem.

        The answer is to drag the tab from main window to your 2nd window on 2nd monitor, but the trick is to hold click and hover it above the + symbol on the other screen window for up to 2 seconds, you will then see the tab underneath move which means u can let go of left click now to drop it. Repeated test heaps of times, it works. nothing else works however

          This recently started on my browser too. What you need to do is first right click on the tab you want to move. Then grab it with left mouse button to the other window.

            @callmepadre7 i had the same problem,
            what works for me is simply dragging the tab to the intended window and hovering it there for a bit, after that it reads as an existing tab

              This is the right solution.

                @callmepadre7 Yes, I'm having the same issue. But I need to work with several windows, so i'm switching to Chrome while it gets fixed.

                  @grandmasterdoggo Bumping this for anyone who may have googled to get here. This Worked For Me. I am used to the tab transfer in chrome happening more quickly. But waiting for the current tabs to reshape to make room for the new tab was the key. Thanks!

                    @grandmasterdoggo Bump, Go figure the main issue is the speed. all other explorers are pretty much instant when you drag tabs over.

                    Note: When you are dragging a tab over, hover the tab either on-top (the tab will shrink) or in-between (they will move out of the way as described) tabs that are already there. Just off to the side doesn't seem to work.

                          Found an easy solution, you have to drag the tab to the + sign used to open a new tab. It's not as intuitive as in Chrome, but it works.
