Description Egmont Koblinger 2016-03-15 20:51:56 UTC 
Have a g-t window with a single tab and a tab bar (requires "tab-policy: always").

Drag it, and drop it on top itself (either on the tab bar, or on the terminal).

The terminal closes.

Interestingly it does not crash; it closes cleanly without effecting the rest of g-t. Still, it shouldn't do this.
Comment 1 Christian Persch 2016-03-16 17:14:37 UTC 
Hmm. I guess what happens is that instead of doing a tab reordering, gtk is doing a remove+insert tab, and the remove closes the window since it was the last tab. If so, I'd say that is a gtk bug in GtkNotebook.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2016-06-12 12:48:03 UTC 
Does adding a 

if (dest_window == source_window)
  return;

to terminal_window_move_screen() fix this?
Comment 3 Egmont Koblinger 2016-06-12 13:34:36 UTC 
If I drop on the terminal area then yup it fixes this (althought the height shrinks during this operation).

If I drop on the tab bar then nope, the terminal still disappears.
