Same problem here. It is super annoying and so far the only workaround I have found is use the shortcut to enter search or refresh the page.

It is such a common thing that is broken that it really make the browser unusable in some sense.

@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.

I currently encounter the same "problem". Also thought It does not work but after reading it here also realize that you have to drop the tab left of the "+" button. This seems to be a recent change and I really dislike it and it is not at all intuitive. I do not want to be precise when just moving a tab from one window to the next.

It it generally a bit unresponsive with a noticeable delay before the dragged tabs "docks" into the tab bar. So it takes a bit and now you actually have to "think" about where to put it since it depends on the number of tabs open.

I got used to the slight delay but this now is feeling very bad from a user experience point of view. If people actually ask if the feature is broken, while it is not, you know you designed something not intuitive.

I still don't want to believe this is actually intended since it is such a bad design. So hope it will be fixed in the future.
