This is definitely a bug in Chrome, but out of a sense of morbid curiosity, I tried implementing the "lock tabs" feature as an extension:
http://aaronboodman.com/z_dropbox/tablock.crx You will need the Chrome dev channel and the --enable-extensions flag to use this. See the instructions at the top of this page: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensions/samples It isn't perfect, because we currently don't have a way for an extension to reject a tab being detached; it has to wait for it to be reattached elsewhere, and then move it back. But it was fun giving it a shot. Code here, if you're interested: http://aaronboodman.com/z_dropbox/tablock.crx - a On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 11:57 PM, Joe andrieu <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 > > This often happens to me even when my mouseup happens in the original tab... > but chrome is busy and doesn't handle it until I've moved my mouse > elsewhere.
