1. Drag out a new tab group.
2. Drag out of the page
3. Let go of the mouse button outside of the page.
4. Come back in. Note that it thinks you're still resizing, even though your mouse button is not depressed.

That's a classic one. I don't know of any way to get the "mouse up" event if it happens outside the browser. Raymond? Mardak?

If you add an "mouse up" event listener to the browser window instead of inside tab candy page, you should be able to get the "mouse up" event.

Utils.getCurrentWindow().addEventListener("mouseup", function() {
  // if we are displaying the tabcandy interface and we are in the dragging stage.  
}, true)

The fix includes resize, drag, and dragging to create a group.
