Bump. I think this feature deserves continued attention.

This is working for me now on Opera version 109.0.5097.80. Finally! (opera://flags/#drag-multiple-tabs is enabled by default and working correctly). Thank you. It only took 7 years!

@jasongr Same here. Version 100.0.4815.47. When a background tab refreshes itself Opera is bringing that tab to the foreground. Please fix.

Version: 50.0.2762.67 System: Mac OS X 10.11.6 64-bit

I haven't been able to track down exactly what's causing this, but I'll describe it anyway. I've noticed when refreshing a tab (Cmd+R) or reloading the same URL (Cmd+L, enter) that occasionally it will go to a new, different page I have recently visited in another tab or window. I'm pretty sure it's started happening in the last couple of weeks. Has anyone else seen this?

Plus one for this from me.

What I find odd is that you can ctrl/shift + select multiple tabs, the UI does support this, yet you can't do anything with them!

Please add!

@leocg I have enabled this. I now cannot drag any tab out into a separate window. Not even a single one. Bug?

@leocg So the expected behaviour is that I cannot drag a tab to a new window? There must be a misunderstanding, surely you can't be preventing this behaviour by design?

I'm currently on 52.0.2871.99 and I can't remember this happening recently. I'm going to say it's fixed, whatever it was.

Yes, confirmed still occurring on 51.0.2830.26. I'm sorry I can't provide any more information. It's pretty random so hard to get some concrete reproducible steps.
