Drag Tab to Create New Window

and

I would like to see in a future version of Vivaldi where I can drag a tab off and it will create a new window with this tab. I don't know how hard it is to implement, but this feature would be extremely useful and keep me from having to switch to safari to utilize this feature (for example: presenting slides presentations with speakers notes on two displays, More Tab managing, etc.)

@and It is already implemented. In windowed mode, just drop it outside the window. In maximised mode you need a second monitor to drag it onto. The ability to drop it onto the current window is already in the Feature Requests thread.

For now, you can use right-click, move to, new window.

@and it work on all chromium's browsers

@seregas No it doesn't, if a Chromium based browser implements a different UI like Vivaldi does it requires its own implementation. Vivaldi only started supporting this a few versions ago.

Anyway @and , make sure you drag the tab up or down below or above the tab bar (if it is on top/bottom), not sideways otherwise it will reorder the tab and not create a new window.

It a little late reply, but maybe the proper request is to make this easier for the user. I have tried many times to drag the tab to create a new window but the browser thinks I'm trying to reorder the tabs.

@duarte-framos I have also tried moving up and down but it has now become very frustrating.

This feature may be part of Vivaldi right now but, unfortunately, I yet to see it.

@duarte.framos Up and down for top or bottom tabs. Sideways for side tabs.

@and Works easily here. Are your tabs top, bottom or side?

Came across this while doing a search for why dragging the tab out doesn't create a new window.

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) with KDE plasma as my desktop. Like dLeon, dragging tabs out of the window to the desktop doesn't work. But for me, even dragging out of the bottom doesn't work.

Weirder yet, if I drag a tab to my other monitor, on the release of the button I get a menu with copy, move, link options (that don't work).

If I right-click tabs and Move To... New Window, it works fine. It really seems like Vivaldi isn't detecting when the tab has be dragged outside its own window.

Same here. I can't seem to get Vivaldi to create a new window by dragging the tab out of the window. This includes dragging above window, below, sideways, to other monitors, etc.
Nothing seems to get it to work. Agree with @3vi1 that there seems to be a bug with detecting where the tab is getting dragged.

@hexiaochaun1 When reporting issues always give your OS and Vivaldi versions.

@hexiaochaun1 Works fine on my two different OS machines (check sig) so in no way your problem does concern "all platforms".

I'm experiencing issues with this on my Mac.

The problem seems to be that it matters where you drag the tab.

For example, if I grab a tab and drag it outside the Vivaldi window it was previously part of and release it on top of an iTerm window, the tab will open up in a new window. I can also drag the tab just down a bit and release on top of "itself" and it will open up a new window for that tab.

However, if I drag the tab over a window of Visual Studio Code, it won't open a new window. The same goes for another editor that I use, IntelliJ IDEA.

Also, if a new window does get created, it looks like the whole window is refreshed somehow. It takes about a second for the window to be created and the tab added, meanwhile the tab disappears. This is not a huge issue per se (as long as it's not doing a full refresh) but it feels jerky and untrustworthy.

I'm experiencing this issue on Pop-Os as well. It's really annoying. Is there something I can do to prevent this?
