Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2011-02-27 04:34:38 UTC 
Currently, when you undock a tab and close the undocked window, the tab goes back to its initial position.

Instead, users should be able to reorder tabs just like most other apps do (firefox, chromium, gedit, gnome-terminal), and their state should be remembered along with other parameters in bug #578672.
Comment 1 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-08-22 04:53:26 UTC 
Actually, it's just a matter of setting the tab's reorderable property to True in our tabsmanager. However, after further thinking, I'm unable to see why I would actually need to reorder tabs, and nobody else requested this feature.

Not allowing reorderable tabs also has some advantages:
- Consistent user experience
- No accidental drags
- Spatial memory of the relative position of tabs
