<![CDATA[Crash When Dragging Tabs to New Windows]]>I am experiencing a bug in Opera One where the browser crashes when I try to drag a tab outside the window to create a new window. This does not happen with all sites, but it happens often enough to be a problem.

Yes, I have the same feeling that Opera One teams does not listen this forum. I also reported two bugs, easy reproductibile, and since 2 major versions nothing happened.

I just switched to Vivaldi. Seems to be as reliable as Opera once was, but it's also highly customizable.
I'll be staying on it until further notice.

Thanks for the lead on Vivaldi. I too am ditching the formerly stable Opera due to this and other bugs. I'm sick of the crashing.

It happens way too often, half the time if not more I try to move a tab from one window to another Opera will crash, it's almost certain it will crash whenever I try to.

I've also seen spikes in RAM usage at that moment, but since my system is already running other applications i can't definately say that those are caused by Opera One itself.

It only crashes for me if I drag a tab to the right side of the plus sign. Hopefully, this may help others who are struggling with this bug. Have a great day, Sebastian and thanks for your reply.

Currently running on version 112.0.5197.39 and as of writing this answer the borwser seems to have another update ready (112.0.5197.53).

I hope yours is still continuing without issues. 🙂

I was just recording a video of the bug occuring on Opera 111.0.5168.25, but the browser just updated to version 111.0.5168.43. Now i can no longer reconstruct the bug. The tabs seem to respond way faster now, too, and drag & drop of tabs doesn't cause the browser to stutter any longer.

My method of reconstructing the error in 111.0.5168.25 was:
Open a new instance of Opera (e.g. private surfing mode).
Open a few Opera tabs with different sites, just so they load content from other websites.
Open new, empty tabs and move them in the bar, until the crash occures.

It's 2024 now and I'm still having Opera crash when moving tabs in the same window or to a different window. It's not about any specific site either, it happens at any moment with any tab. Most of the time I can move them, but every now and then it crashes. Just tonight it happened 3 times. Sad to see what this browser has become now...

I'm also considering switching to another browser.

And to be honest, I never needed this feature.
This should end my frustration with this new version, at least for now. Thanks for the tip.

I figured it's better not to move tabs between tab islands or turn off the islands feature in the settings - up until developers fix this problem.

I get no error message. It just crashes and restarts, but all my opened tabs are lost.
This is very frustrating.

Once I noticed an error message saying something about folder permissions being incorrect or something after a crash, but forgot to take a screenshot of it before closing.
