Cannot drag windows explorer tab out of a group

from Stardock Forums

Issue: Windows Explorer windows are grouped, but I cannot drag a tab (window) out of a group. The only way out is to ungroup all windows which is not desirable. There are instances when I want to ungroup only the selected/active window-I need to be able to drag any tab (window) out of a group using mouse and also there should be an option to ungroup active tab in the context menu of a tab and/or on the 3 dots groupy menu.

I haven't tested this with other windows/applications, but I am suspecting this may be the case with other applications as well.

I have windows 10, 64bit.

Did you have the "Only drag tabs in a group when holding Shift or right mouse button" checked? Please uncheck it. (Its under Groupy -> Setting -> How should you switch and move tabs? option.)

It is unchecked. Is anyone else having this issue?

I followed your instructions and installed 1.15 RC, but the issue was still present. I did some more testing and made an important observation. If windows explorer is in a maximized window state then a tab is prevented from being dragged out of the group. You can only drag a tab out of the group if window is not maximized. In my opinion we should be able to drag a tab out of a group regardless of window state.

That said, I want to reiterate my frustration with Groupy not working or missing some fundamental features and how some basic functionality such as in this thread and other threads was missed.

With the revelation about maximized windows, I was able to reproduce it.  I have placed an internal ticket to have it looked at.

Thank you for the report.
