Description Stanislav Brabec 2008-06-28 21:10:37 UTC 
On slow machines, unwanted tab detaching happens pretty often.

How to reproduce:
1) Start multi tab gnome terminal on a slow machine
2) Click to change tab and after button releasing quickly move pointer from the tab widget back to terminal area

Actual behavior:
Tab is detached

Expected behavior:
Switch to another tab and activate terminal area

Additional info:
My blind guess says, that detaching code checks for mouse position in the moment when it gets control without checking, that mouse button is still pressed.

gnome-terminal-2.22.1, openSUSE 11.0 i586 with remote X terminal running on 400MHz AMD K5.
