When detaching tabs, the threshold for detachment (to prevent accidental detachments) seems to be way too small. Any small movement while clicking on a tab can result in an unintended detachment from the window. A reasonable "box" needs to be added so that the tab will not detach within the box.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open more than one tab in a browser
2.Click on tab.
2a. Move mouse up or down slightly to variable degrees while clicking on tab.
3.See that detachment happens at times when it was not expected.


Expected Results:  
Tabs should not detach unless the user actually wants to detach the tab.
