I'd like to drag an image from one tab to a compose window on another tab

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open gmail in rich text compose mode in one tab
2. open b3ta.com in another tab
3. put mouse over amusing image
4. hold down left mouse button
5. drag image up to tab bar over gmail tab
6. gmail tab should be selected and show gmail ui (still with image being dragged) - this doesn't happen
7. drop image into gmail compose window
8. hit send
Actual Results:  
the gmail tab never opens so I can't drag an image from one tab to another tab.
it works fine if I have two windows open but not between two tabs

Expected Results:  
dragging an image over a tab should cause that tab to open so I can drag the image into it.

the behavior I want this is very similar to how dragging works in the finder under osx
