konsole with tabs

Seems that with Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and kubuntu-desktop (Installed: 1.370) clicking on tabs in konsole is to sensitive, have alot of tabs in open and half the time switching tabs (selecting the tab with the mouse) draws the tabs out to its own window

Hello,

so instead of clicking you drag, am I right? 

Did you checked the mouse settings, and tried to increase the drag start time? Probably you can adjust this value, so you won't accidentally drag anymore (System Settings -> Input Devices -> Mouse -> Advanced).

Did you encounter this problem someplace else, like Dolphin for example - moving files instead of opening them, or something similar?

In dolphin I have no problem.
After tesing in dolphin I did as you said and increased the "drag start time" to 1000 from default 500, much better.

I noticed something strange in that menu(I use two computers, one where I dont use more than one tab in konsole) that the:
Pointer threshold is 4, but pressing the "Defaults"-button sets it to 2.

So I did use default on the computer I had problems with multiple tabs in konsole I pressed default so I got:
"Pointer threshold" = 2 and "Drag start time" = 500
and I get no problem with the dragging off tabs of Konsole, strange that it has a value of 4 from installation but gets a value of 2 when pressing default.
