<![CDATA[Tab Dragging onto another Window]]>Either it's not added or a bug is preventing me from doing so. I'd like to be able to simply drag a tab from one opera gx window anto another opera gx window tab bar. Currently, when I try to drag a tab to another window it will create a fully separate window.

I could have sworn this was a feature, so this should be under bugs if it is. I've closed all windows and tried to drag after re-opening Opera gx, but the tab dragging does not work.

I searched for this suggestion, but the posts were quite old and didn't seem to have any response.

It's not as intuitive as in Chrome, but it works.

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.

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!

But I need to work with several windows, so i'm switching to Chrome while it gets fixed.

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 is the right solution.

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 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.

I have the same issue, did anyone solve it? It's years already and it's still bugged? Can't move tab to another window on another screen....sometimes possible, sometimes can do totally nothing, it's really frustrating ;/

But it did work just a few days ago without problems was able to switch tabs to other windows just as in the chrome browser. Now it somehow doesnt work anymore like right a second after it was successfully done multiple times it stopped working after it.

Now it shouldn't cause you to create a new window when dragging a tab to another window.

Coming from Safari, I was confused too in the beginning but then realised it worked like this with Opera.

Left click to drag and right click to place.

I used Opera GX for several months with no issues, then last week I lost all ability to transfer tabs. I've tried closing Opera, restarting my PC. Nothing works, including the right click method.
What's so bizarre about this is that it worked for so long and just stopped for seemingly no reason.

Opera gx has this feature but I think sometimes this bugs out, due to windows being 'idle' or something.

Solution for me, which is a bit weird but works:

  1. Have both windows open next to each other.
  2. Right click on the tab bar of the target window (you want the tab dragged onto)
  3. (immediately) Drag the tab you want to switch onto the target window

This works for me. I think this takes the target window out of the idle state.

Or it just is not omplemented in opera gx yet? Because there is this feature in Chrome, for example.
