I have the same problem. Started recently. Right clicking on the tab
and choosing "Move tab to new window" (if there is only one window)
or "Move tab to another window" => "New window" (if there is already
more than one window) works without problem.

Yep, same here.

I've no idea what is causing the problem. Fluxbox is my window
manager.

I'm using openbox.

KDE here. I don't use Chrome so I only just fired it up (completely clean "install") and have the same behaviour.

As to what's causing it I can only guess but I did notice that when I try to move a tab - even on a single tab window - my mouse pointer jumps to the title bar area above it which presumably causes the window manager to pick up the "click & hold" gesture and leads to the whole window moving about.

However, this only seems to be happening when using the "System titlebar and borders". If you right click on the tab area (not on the tab itself) and untick said option the issue will disappear. At least it does on my machine and I can move tabs about as normal.
