Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 9198 by jan.wedel: Accidentally undocking tabs http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9198
Chrome Version : 2.0.170.0 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Use slow machine (1.6GHz, 1GB Ram Single Core Centrino Laptop in my case) 2. Keep the machine/browser a bit busy 3. Open a few tabs 4. Put the mouse cursor e.g. to the bottom left of the screen 5. Try to click on a non-opened tab on the top quite fast by moving the mouse cursor quickly to the tab, click on it and move it back quickly somewhere else on the bottom away from all tabs. What is the expected result? The clicked tab should be activated. What happens instead? The tab gets activated and accidentally gets undocked and the undocked window appears where the mouse cursor stops. Additional information: In my case this happens REALLY often everyday while I just use Chrome. For example I have a few pages open and want to switch to one of them quickly. almost everytime, the tab gets undocked. I believe this has something to do with my slow machine, but it should not happen anyhow. Confirmed also with the latest stable release. From the developer point of view, I think the following happens: I move the mouse cursor and try to click. But a click (at least in Java) is, if you press and release the mouse at the exact same x,y position. And because of the movement it won't be like that. So lets say a button press is registered at x1,y1 and the mouse button is released at x2, y2. It is interpreted as an attempt to move the tab. But here come the real problem: The mouse cursor movement is stopped at x3,y3 and it seems like - maybe due to the fact a slow machine - as if mouse button release is registered for position 3 instead of position 2 and because pos 3 is not on the tab bar the activated tab gets undocked. So, whatever really happens, it is definitely annoying! -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
