I suspect that this is a Chrome bug rather than an i3 bug because, according to Michael, i3 has no awareness of drag-and-drop, so I'm posting this as an issue on the Google product forums as well as here; I'd be thrilled, though, to discover that someone here knows how to fix this. Note: I'm using i3 v. 4.0.1, but at the moment there is no more up-to-date package available for CentOS. Edit: this happens regardless of whether the initial Chrome window is floating or tiled.Fri, 11 Oct 2013 16:53:32 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?answer=2687#post-id-2687Upgrade to a newer i3 version, that’ll fix it. Even upgrading to i3 v4.0.2 will be enough, as that version fixed it.Fri, 11 Oct 2013 17:00:35 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?answer=2687#post-id-2687https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?comment=2727#comment-2727After a discussion with some EPEL folks and some futile attempts to install version 4.6 on my own machine, I've discovered that 4.0.2 is compatible with RH6, but later versions have all sorts of conflicts with core RH6 packages. Oh well, at least 4.0.2 works...Thu, 17 Oct 2013 17:07:45 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?comment=2727#comment-2727https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?comment=4729#comment-4729I did not have this problem before but I am now experiencing it while using 4.7.2. (I started using i3 around version 4.5.1, and have been staying up to date with whatever's in the official Ubuntu apt repo since.)Sat, 11 Oct 2014 21:23:47 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?comment=4729#comment-4729https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?comment=2690#comment-2690I did spend some time the other day yesterday trying to get the Fedora 19 repository configured on my machine, but attempting to install i3 from that repo failed because it wanted to upgrade ~1800 packages as dependencies and (inevitably) ran into conflicts. Time to bug the EPEL people, I guess...Fri, 11 Oct 2013 17:11:01 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?comment=2690#comment-2690https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?comment=2688#comment-2688I think you should be able to upgrade by just using a newer fedora RPM and EPEL, right?Fri, 11 Oct 2013 17:01:08 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?comment=2688#comment-2688https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2686/chrome-dragdrop-tabs-creates-new-i3-windows/?comment=4963#comment-4963Same as @xenomachina.
