#124 Detaching tab doesn't create a window
When tab position is set to top or bottom, dragging a tab outside window detaches it and creates a separate window for that tab. This is expected behaviour.
When tab position is set to left or right, the tab being dragged gets detached but no window is created for it. Even though it remains running there is no way access it (or at least I couldn't find how). This is unexpected behaviour.
Version affected: 3.3.2

Do you know which version this started in? There seem to be other problems with side tabs too. It's GtkNotebook that manages all the dragging, so I think the bug might be in GTK, although it could be unique to roxterm due to some quirks it has. I think the GTK developers are aware that GtkNotebook has a lot of issues when tabs are added and removed on the fly, but haven't decided what to do about it. I might have to just disable the tab position option :-(.

For me since version 2.8.1 and on. Can't say anything about earlier versions, haven't used them.
And did you only ever use the GTK3 builds, or have you found this bug in GTK2 too?

I used only gtk3 builds.
I installed an older version and found the bug in GTK2 as well, so that increases the probability that it's a roxterm bug, not GTK's fault.
