Solved Restore old animation of moving tabs (tab sliding)

indigos024

@nekomajin They said there is no going back from this tab dragging, but I at least hope for an option to turn it off and on

I am sure they are working on something behind the scenes, but they don't communicate with the users. This is unacceptable.

I wish you would stop making false claims like this. The developers do communicate with users, but you do not pay attention, or perhaps you just don't read the accouncement threads.

@ruarí said in Minor update for Vivaldi Desktop Browser 3.7:

@rseiler: No because we cannot go back to the old code since changes were needed to make two line drag and drop work correctly. We will keep moving forward and try and address issues with the new code so that those who are still unhappy with it, will be in the future but the changes would be too big and risky to introduce in a minor update.

@abolog Exactly the same behavior for me. Still don't understand how that is not considered a fairly important issue for an otherwise pretty great browser...

Nekomajin

@indigos024
Where did they say it?

Nekomajin

This is ridiculous. I grab the tab to move it to the right, but it jumps a position to the left.

Who thought this implemetation would be a good idea?!

Except that, if you have tabs that update their title. It all crumbles to pieces and goes chaotic.

It flashes + the tab gets thrown at the end of the line.

Please. This is not the way to do tab management. Something must be done.

Maybe the stacking feature is with right click or cltr+move or something. And leave the tabs sliding.

This is an ugly bug.

Is a fix planned ?
Or are you trying to alienate your users Mozilla style ?

For me two-line drag and drop was too high a price to pay for the loss of basic functionality.

This is still so bad. SO. BAD. Please do something.

@rares9512
IMHO the animation is somewhat better, but it really bothers me that there is no threshold to drag the tab out of the tab bar. If the mouse cursor does not move more than a couple of pixels vertically, the tab should stay on the tab bar and only slide horizontally. More than that, it is extremely annoying, that the tab jumps to the mouse cursor with its top left corner.

Pesala

@nekomajin The threshold is the full height of the Tab Bar.

yep!

raull127

It's been a long time coming, are we really going to stick with such a cheap and annoying feature?
I can't understand why something like this is not solved....

Awesome news!
Looks like the old animation of moving tabs returns in the Vivaldi snapshot 2617.2!

Thanks everyone in this thread and Vivaldi team of course for listening us

This method of dragging tabs has been implemented with Vivaldi 5.2 update.

This is great news finally, thanks !
I guess @Pesala won't see the difference but I do

@raoulg I do see a difference.

(VB-87756) Unable to Detach Tab from Maximised Window by Dragging

@pesala This is a duplicate of VB-87722, which has been fixed internally just yesterday (I have yet to test this in a new build to confirm that it's working).
