Why is it that almost every time I click near the top of my browser, the page I am looking in gets removed from the tab list and made a new window ? Couldn't they make it less touchy ?

I've just been mucking about with Chrome and I have to move the tab about a full cm before it breaks off, or, drag physically outside of the browser window (whichever comes first).
You didn't download the "Christian Graus Deluxe Edition" again did you? You fell for that last time, too.

*grin* I am in Chrome, so, I don't know. Perhaps it's just my Parkinson's playing up, but I don't feel like I move it far at all. I am running a high resolution, perhaps it's counting in pixels and you have an old man resolution running ?
It's when I click on a tab to select it, and it's not moving 1 cm, that's for sure....

Maybe you're moving the mouse so quickly that relativistic effects are in play. You know - the faster you go, the shorter distances become, so what looks like a short distance to you is a big distance to Chrome...
(OK, it's a long shot, but I do know you like your machines fast...)

Well, it's certainly confused... We're talking about a movement because I am moving my mouse as I click on the tab, it's as I come to a stop.

Well now - there is the problem. Upgrade to Windows 8 / touch screens and leave that old mouse behind. Your productivity will plummet... errrr... sky rocket so fast this little annoyance will practically disappear.

You know you can drag it back into the tab list, yeah?

Yes, I do that. But why should I have to ? I am moving my mouse to select a tab, I click to select it. By the time it's over, I've stopped clicking, and my mouse has moved on to the next task. So I need to move it back, click and drag it. PITA.

Because you like your tabs in a row!!
I agree it's annoying, but it doesn't happen often enough for me to rant about it... guess I'm just lucky!!

Yes they could, but then it would'nt piss you off.

I think you need recalibrated. I really have to drag it a ways before it breaks off unless I pull down quickly (like a snap feature). If you are really stopped, then it doesn't break away.
It's dragging quickly when you click that does it.
If it moves, compile it
