all of a sudden I get separate Brave windows from existing tabs in my browser
Description of the issue:
lately a tab gets separated from the main browser window and appears as a separate Brave window… I don’t want to be able to drag or separate a tab to a different window How can this issue be reproduced?
If I’m in a window it is as though I am holding the mouse down but I’m pretty sure I have released the button. This also happens in Chrome too but then it’s the same engine?
Hmm yeah, that’s bizarre. And yes, same engine (Chromium) underneath.
Interesting issue. I would look for commonalities between the two browsers, like maybe if you use the same extension in both, etc. And you could try creating a new profile and see if it happens there as well.
But, it could very well be some kind of system problem, like a bad mouse driver or something. Do you have auto-updates enabled for your OS? Is this Win7, or Win10?
Windows 10. I am on a Microsoft Surface and it just occurred to me the trackpad is also active. It always seems to happen to the tab I am working in. I will see if I can disable the trackpad …
