1801137 - Unreliable tab grabbing from a window to create a new one

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1666223

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[[:Dim]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/107.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

• Open at least two tabs (or more)
• Grab one tab with your mouse and try to "eject" it to move it elsewhere to create a new window.

Actual results:

This action is reliable, uncertain and you need to grab until 5 times to move a tab to a new window (or create a new one if you point to nowhere)

Attached two videos to show a comparaison of Firefox and Chrome.

Expected results:

Moving the grabbed tab quicker.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Tabbed Browser' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hi @Dim, I tried to reproduce this issue on multiple mac OS versions but dragging a Tab out will always create a new window. If you Drag one tab outside and wait a few seconds does that Tab create a new window eventually ?

@Rares Doghi Hi. It does but It is not optimal, that's why It's more an enhancement than a "bug" report :)

I think this is a real issue and we already have it tracked in this Bug 1666223, Tabs should move out quicker, at least on my end on MacOS 11.1 a tab moves out in under a second.
I think we can close this one as a Dupe and keep track of it there.

Unfortunately we have already have a few issues logged for the cancel animation of the Dragged Tab: Bug 1617690 or Bug 1635761
