Description David Prieto 2006-01-16 20:49:55 UTC
Hi.

As you know, if you drag any item to an application in the taskbar that
application will rise. However, when you drag something form a tab to the other
nothing happens.

I'll try to make myself clear:

If you want to copy some text from Firefox to a Gaim window, it's easy:

-you select the text
-you drag it to Gaim in the taskbar
-the Gaim window pops up
-you drop the text into Gaim.

But if you want to copy text from a tabbed Gaim conversation to another tabbed
conversation in the same window:

-you select the text in the first conversation
-you drag it to the second conversation's tab
-that second conversation should rise and allow you to drop the text into it...
but instead, nothing happens.

Sounds like a useful idea. Probably needs to be off by default, since it mostly makes sense for notebooks used in MDI scenarios.
