It is far too easy with konsole to tear off tabs. I use this feature maybe once a week, but I have unintended tear-offs several times a day. Konsole needs to either increase the drag distance for tear-off tabs or let the user disable it. I tire of having tabs tear off when all I've done is click on the tab.
I agree. Happily this has already been fixed in the upcoming 19.04 release (or possibly 19.04, can't recall which).
I'm now using 19.12.3 with Kubuntu 20.04 beta. I don't understand how this is thought to be fixed. I upgraded from 16.04 LTS, and the inadvertent tab tearing off is so bad I have moved the tab bar to the top so the mouse usually is not near it. But this is far less productive, because the top is so far from where the typing and cutting and pasting is. If there is a way to disable this, it is not obvious in the menu. Thanks!
Can you clarify how you're accidentally tearing off tabs? I'm not finding it a problem my my daily use. A video would help.
Created attachment 127595 [details] attachment-32369-0.html Tearing off tabs is 10 pixels up or down. We can increase the threshold.

I'm not sure that a video showing my ineptitude with the mouse would be all that useful. I will say that: (a) on a 27" 4K monitor, 10 pixels is only about 0.06 inches; (b) I'm obviously still decelerating the mouse when I click; and (c) since I tend to work with a single maximized window, the feature is of no to minimal utility to me, so I would vastly prefer a way to simply shut it off. Thanks!
As mentioned, I would vastly prefer to be able to simply disable this feature. It is already frustrating; I can't imagine what it would be like if I had essential tremor like my aunt. However, I will also mention that due to my age, I push my monitor _way_ back, so I'm probably not getting optimal usage out of all my pixels. Is there some sort of scaling factor, or is 10 pixels always 10 physical pixels? Because 10 physical pixels of the 4K monitor, at the 40 or so inches I sit away from it, is not a very big visual arc. Thanks!
