Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 405511

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Generally, you can drag around tabs to rearrange them in the tab bar. However, dragging a tab onto itself i.e the tab is open, and the tab is dragged onto the main window, it gets refreshed, which should ideally not happen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two tabs, each loaded with a page. Alternatively, you can select the option 'Always show tab bar' in Preferences.
2. Depending on which tab is open, drag it from the tab bar to the main window.
Actual Results:  
The page refreshes.

Expected Results:  
Ideally, you can use this feature to make duplicate tabs quickly. But, when dragged and dropped on the same tab, it just wastes bandwidth. Refresh or the F5 key works just fine.

I was using Firefox 3.0b2, which supports no add-ons, or themes. So...pretty straightforward.

Thanks dude. Sorry about that. I did search around, but couldn't find anything related.

No problems, thanks for filing! Rather a bug gets filed 10 times than a bug slips through the net and doesn't get reported at all ;-)
