@skyaldmo said in When drag-dropping a text, Opera searches it in a random tab:

Expected behavior and actual one :
Every other browser searches the dragged text in 2 ways,
if it's dropped on a tab : searches it on the "dropped" tab,
if it's dropped on the empty space : creates a new tab and searches on that.

That's the way Opera 96.0.4693.20 on Win 11 22H2 works for me. The difference between Opera and Chrome for me is that you can't drop to the right of the new tab "+" button. You have to drop between the last tab and the "+" button if you want to open the search in a new tab as the last tab.

In Opera, I can also drop the select text in between 2 tabs to have it open in a new tab between those 2 tabs. In Chrome though, it's easier to tell when you're between 2 tabs as Chrome has an arror that shows the insertion spot on the tab bar.
