Issue 605 in xmonad: Tearing out a chrome or chromium tab with the mouse becomes tiled when it should be floating

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 605 by jeremyfl...@gmail.com: Tearing out a chrome or chromium tab with the mouse becomes tiled when it should be floating https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=605 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Use the mouse to drag (tear) a chrome tab out of your chrome window. 2. Experience annoyance when everything moves to accomodate a newly tiled window. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? This new window should float until the drag stops. This used to be the behavior a year or two ago.

Also found https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=416119 and it occurs in other tiling WMs as well. Asked there for more information from chromium devs. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.

Comment #3 on issue 605 by allber...@gmail.com: Tearing out a chrome or chromium tab with the mouse becomes tiled when it should be floating https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=605 Interesting observation: at least with recent Chrome, it seems that if I drag slowly enough I can drag tabs even sloppily. I will briefly get a new window that gets tiled --- but as long as I keep dragging, when I reach the tab bar of the other Chrome window the temporary tiled window will go away and the tab will appear. I suspect that xmonad reshuffling windows as focus changes can impact this pretty badly, though, such that everything gets confused and the tab just gets tiled because the target window got whisked away by the StackSet reshuffle. Sadly, this is another manifestation of bug 4 and the only fix is to ditch the StackSet entirely, breaking pretty much everything in the process. :/ -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
