[Bug 1512130] [NEW] Cannot drag Firefox tab to new window over desktop

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

Firefox allows the user to move a tab into a new window by dragging it
out of the window. Since Kubuntu 15.04 this fails if the end point of
the drag is over the desktop. The mechanism still works if the end point
is over an application window (does not seem to matter what the other
application is, so long as it is not the desktop background)

Reproducible: always

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Open a tab
3. Drag tab out of the Firefox window to a point where the desktop background is visible. The new window is not created and the tab remains in the original window.

Expected behaviour:
In step 3, a new Firefox window should be opened that contains the tab that was dragged out of the first window.
