Edit by @rsese to add repro steps from #141 (comment)

I'm actually able to reproduce this issue with Atom v1.34.0 on OSX 10.14.2. Steps to reproduce are:

  1. Open two empty atom windows side-by-side
  2. Open a file in window A
  3. Attempt to drag tab from window A to window B
  4. Open a different file in window B
  5. Attempt to drag tab from window A to window B

The expected result is for step 3 to be successful, but it fails.


I often use atom across two screens by having two windows open, each with a few tabs.

Sometimes these tabs need to get moved between windows, which can currently be done by dragging-and-dropping a tab into the other window

However, if all tabs get removed from a window, it is not possible to drag a tab back over to that window. This can be seen by the missing blue bar in the following picture.

My workaround has been to close the tabless window, reopen a new window using ctrl-shift-n, (which opens a blank 'Untitled' tab), drag over a tab from the other window, and then close the blank tab. However, this is a pain.
