Description opblyyoyobtyokxhcb 2024-09-12 07:17:22 UTC
SUMMARY
It's a little too easy to drag a window around, easily triggered while rearranging browser tabs.

This is worse when working with a tiled window which then abruptly resizes to its previous size.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a few tabs in a browser window with the titlebar hidden.
2. Place the window in a tiled position
3. Rearrange tabs by dragging them around.
4. Miss and accidentally drag the title bar or the top border of the window a few pixels.
5.  Window pops out of tiled position and reverts back to previous size.

OBSERVED RESULT
Jarring sudden resize is easily triggered.

EXPECTED RESULT
Due to the variety of screen sizes, resolutions, mouse speeds and personal preferences, the resistance of the window (especially tiled windows) to dragging should be configurable.

I know exactly what you're talking about: it's actually a Firefox bug, and that bug should simply be fixed instead. I don't think the thing you're requesting would actually fix the issue anyway, since if you dragged the tab beyond the drag threshold, the window would still un-tile. Marking as a duplicate of the Firefox issue.
