Drag and Drop to tabs no longer works in IE11

I just upgraded to Windows 8.1 with IE11, and I can no longer drag and drop links onto existing tabs. Why was this removed? That was one of the most useful features of tabbed browsing.

Hi,
Do you get any error message/code?
Based on your description, I would like to suggest you try the following to check the issue:
1. Run Internet Explorer Performance Troubleshooter.
The Internet Explorer Performance Troubleshooter is an automated tool which will check for any performance issues which are common with the Internet Explorer on the computer and provides the details on how to fix them. Follow these steps and run the troubleshooter.
a. Press “Windows Logo” + “W” keys from the keyboard.
b. Type “Troubleshooting” in the search bar and press “Enter”.
c. In the “Troubleshooting” window, click on “View All” on the left pane.
d. Click on “Internet Explorer Performance”.
e. Click on “Advanced” and then click on “Run as Administrator”.
f. Click “Next” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.
2. Run IE with no add-ons. Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Internet Explorer (with no add-ons). 
3. Reset Internet Explorer settings.

  • After updating to 3.6.18, I am unable to drag and drop my tabs to rearrange them.

    I just ran an auto update for both Firefox and Flash. After restarting FF, I have not been able to drag and drop my tabs anymore. If I attempt to, the thumbnail of the tab flashes briefly before disappearing, and the arrow showing where the tab would be going never appears.

    I have to agree, a once rapid firefox is now an absolute pain, I have scanned the computer with Malware bites and AVG nothing found..anybody got the fix?

  • GNOME 3 : "drag-and-drop" + "Alt-Tab" not working

    Hello,
    In GNOME 3.2.1 with Mutter 3.2.1 (current ones in Arch), it is supossedly fixed the following "bug":
    Mutter 3.2.1 changelog:
    * Allow keyboard window switching (alt-Tab) during drag-and-drop [Matthias, #660457]
    But I can't make it working.
    As test, I open a folder (maximized) and vlc (background). I drag a movie file with left click mouse and pressing Alt-Tab makes nothing.
    In fact, when I press Alt the file icon changes to a question mark "?"...
    Has anyone been able to make it work?
    Thanks in advance,
      Franz

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Drag and drop mail to mailboxes not working

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro, when I attempt to drag and drop an e-mail message from my inbox to another mailbox (folder), has stopped working.  I can still move mail to different mailboxes from the Toolbar / Message / Move to. 
    I'm using Apple Mail 6.0.  I've looked, but do not see any functions in Mail Preferences or Mailbox functions that enables or disables this feature.  Am I looking in the wrong place or missing something?
    Thanks, Terry

    It's actually much worst than that.  THe MOVE command works only intermittently to move blocks of messages.  This is true for both the MOVE button in the toolbar and for attempting tm move by using the control-click menu for a selected group of messages.
    Mail 5.2 under Lion does not fail in this way.  I am running two systems with the same collections of mail on each.
    I moved back to Apple Mail because of the end-of-life status of TBird. TB has lots of bells and whistles that make for easy use and it has handled by 30K/6.5GB mail collection without difficulty.  It also provides a lot of features that Mail does not have, including very helpful statistics during operations.
    I looked at a variety of Mail replacements inculding all the commercial stuff.  But nothing really dominates the marketplace andl the vendors seem frail.  It's clear that the big money is in cloud-service e-mail handling, not apps to run on machines you own and control.
    I imagined that Apple developed and maintained software would be more reliable and sustainable in the long run. It is distressing that the company's test and QA processes did not catch this but I suppose that Apple too is planning on letting Mail wither as their cloud service gains users and market share.  Why sell an app once when you can charge a monthly fee for the service.  It's perhaps cheeky to say but the cloud isn't a technological model it's a business model.

  • How to drag and drop multi tabs to a new tab group?

    When I go to the new feature Tab Groups (shift+ctrl+E), I make a search then some tabs are highlighted but I would like to drag and drop to a new group the highlighted tabs all together not just one by one. Is it possible doing a multi-drag&drop with the CTRL+left mouse button?

    I see where you're going. I'm drawn to Thunderbird because it puts open emails in separate tabs, which makes finding a particular open message easier than searching the task bar for an open outlook message. I do see your point that tab happy programmers, probably too young to remember how cool we thought drag and drop was when it first came out, don't think much of it. As with a lot of software, each programmer has a very limited view of how it their program should be used vs how it is actually used in the wild.
    People work in different ways. When I schedule an appointment with a client, this is often preceded by a series of emails related to whatever the client wants to discuss. I drag and drop those messages into the appointment window so that on the date of the appointment, I have a nice neat summary of the issues right there in the appointment window. I could use workarounds (save email and then attach to the appointment), but that's like a trip back to Windows 3.0 and it's, if I'm not mistaken, 30+ years later. I guess I'll continue to use Tbird for email and outlook for calendar, not my preferred solution, I'd like to flip MS the bird and cut all ties to outlook, and was hoping Tbird was the solution. Not yet, and perhaps not ever, based on your thoughts.

  • Still no drag and drop between tabbed documents

    Working with multiple documents opened at the same time is my everyday workflow and I'm sure I am not alone.
    When Adobe introduced tabbed view it was finally a solution to messy multiple opened documents but they omited the biggest advantage in this workflow which is drag and drop of object from one to doc to the other.
    In order to do so you have to go to Arrange button (CS5) or Window>Arrange (CS6) and choose to tile or float all documents. That is stupid and inefficient.
    What we need is to grab a layer and drag it onto a another doc tab and Photoshop should switch to that tab immediately. You can drag and drop between separate Illustrator and PS files but you can't drag and drop within PS which doesn't make any sense.
    Copy and paste is just as not as quick solution as drag and drop.
    And while you at it why not make empty space after tabs double clickable to get open document window, kind of like when you have no file opened you can double click the gray area.

    I keep tagging my agreement to this everytime I see it requested - from multiple users, including myself.
    Dragging from the layers panel seems a much more logical method to me. What's really frustrating was that we had this in CS4, and it was removed in CS5 and is still absent in CS6.

  • After upgrade to Yosemite, drag and drop for files does not work, destination folder crashes.

    After upgrading to Yosemite, dragging and dropping files from one location to the destination folder, causes the destination folder crash. However, copying the file and then moving it works fine.
    I'm not sure where to report bugs, but I figured this would be the best option

  • Within Music Library can anyone please explain why when I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums?  How can I correct this?  I have tried to 'drag and drop' but that doesn't work.

    Within music Library can anyone please explain why after I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums?  How can I fix this?  I have tried to manually correct by 'drag and drop' individual tracks but that doesn't work.  My music library includes a number of repeat album artwork images simply because not all tracks are being listed under the one album making my library more difficult to use than it should.  Any advise would be appreciated.

  • Drag and drop music in iTunes not working

    Hi all,
    I am having problems dragging and dropping music in iTunes from my media library to my iPhone music library. The only possible way to import music is to sync playlists (which I hate doing). Does anybody else have this problem?
    Thanks!

    You need to make sure that your settings allow you to manually manage music. I believe it is a check box on the main settings page for your iPhone.

  • Can't make drag and drop aiff file from finder work

  • Drag and Drop Mail attachment won't work stable since 10.9

    Hi,
    this problem occurred on my system after upgrading from 10.8 to 10.9 and is still present under 10.10.2 (besides the well known WIFI issues that weren't cured at all with 10.10.1 nor 10.10.2)
    After some time of work, I'm not able to copy attachments from mails into new mails or in finder by simply dragging. The mouse cursor won't grab the files any more as if this feature was never present.Restarting Mail.app will help for some time but the error reappears.
    I've checked system.log and was able to identify the following log as soon as the bug appears.

    Any thoughts?

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
