Interviewed by CNN on 16/07/2011 12:59, Philip Chee told the world:
Several people have noticed this including in the Mozillazine forums.

This was a deliberate change I introduced when I implemented scrollable
tabs. I think this should go into the FAQ so that I can point people at it.

Secondly, should we revert this particular change for the time being
since long time SeaMonkey users have been expecting the old behaviour.
It isn't likely that the tabbar will be turned into a customizable
toolbar for some time yet.

Well, I wouldn't expect the tabbar to be drag-and-drop customizable
anyway. The customizations that I *might* think reasonable would be best
served by a dialog anyway, like the one in Preferences.

I think most of us are addicted to right-clicking on everything and find
it disturbing when something just... does nothing. It *feels* broken.
So, I don't remember exactly what was the previous behavior, but a
pop-up menu with "open new tab", "close all tabs" and "tabbar
preferences" at a minimum would go a long way to quiet that distress. It
would be a natural place to add other tab-related features, such as
Panorama, if and when Seamonkey decides to port it from Firefox.

I did find it pretty annoying, especially at the beginning, since I was used to opening new tabs by right-clicking on the empty part of the tabbar, and selecting new tab. I actually also find it logical, that interacting with a place where there are no tabs yet should give the option to create a new tab...
So, I agree with the menu MCBastos proposed
