  • Dragging a tab out of existing window causes a beachball hang with multiple screens

  • BugsDesktopDone

Can confirm it was happening to me when two screens were active.

@nrudnyk - Repro steps without a second screen.

Install Deskpad (https://github.com/Stengo/DeskPad) - free and open source. Run it, approve the permissions for accessibility/screen capture. Restart the app when prompted.

Now it's running drag a window out of an Orion RC window, and it will crash. This is a simulated second screen, and is enough to trigger the beachball crash without a hardware second monitor 🙂

When I drag a tab from the current Orion window that I am working in to create a new window, Orion freezes and the pinwheel of death spins for ever. This has occurred when I am dragging the tab within the same screen, and across my multi-screen setup.

I replicated multiple times by opening two websites in the same window and then dragging one of them out of the current Orion window to create a new Orion window with that tab. It froze every time.

I expected that tab to create a new window with that website being the starting point.

    I too am getting this issue. Every time I try to drag a tab to an external monitor I get the pinwheel of death and have to force close the program. This doesn't happen using other browsers like Edge.

        hey guys, thanks for the help identifying root cause of the problem. Could you please try the following dev build and let us know whether it works properly there

        Orion-15.0-130.1.0.12-dev

          This dev build works for me - I was able to drag a tab to a new window on a dual screen setup without a freeze!

          Nice one 🙂
