Drag-N-Drop and Rearrangement Issues with Tabs In/Out or Between Tab Groups

Hello David,

Thank you for the detailed report. I will take your three points in order.

Dragging an open session onto a group inside the Tab Groups pane is meant to work, so the inconsistent result you are describing is a defect and not a limitation. Before I file it, could you confirm your exact version under Help > About? That pane was rebuilt in 2026.3, so 2026.2 and 2026.3 are two different implementations and the report has to name the right one. It would also help to know whether the entry that ends up in the group is a neighbour of the one you grabbed in the list.

Dragging a tab from the tab strip into a tab group is not supported today: the pane only accepts items dragged from inside the pane itself. The supported way to move an open session to another group is to right-click its tab in the tab strip and use Tab group > Move to, which is the menu in your screenshot.

On your third point you are right, and it is a related gap. Move to is not offered when you right-click an entry in the Tab Groups pane; there you get the regular entry menu.

The pane itself is documented here: https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/view/tab-groups/

Kind regards,

Michel

Hi Michel,

Thanks for the response, and sorry I forgot to include the version - it's v2026.1.24. I am planning on upgrading, the latest available to me currently shows v2026.2.18 so I was going to try that.

As far as the exact behavior, it actually varies a little bit. Sometimes the move will not occur at all. Sometimes another (seemingly) random entry will get added to the group I tried to drop it in instead. From what I can see, it does not appear they are neighbors (at least not in the tab group list). I just did one test where I took screenshot before and checked after, and it was an entry two items up in the list from the one I had dragged-n-dropped that appeared in the group. Also sometimes the pane shows windows that aren't even in there, for example the "Update available" pane right now is showing as being in one of my tab groups even though it's not (it only shows on the "all" tab group). And sometimes the tab groups (shown as folders in the pane) will reorder themselves for no apparent reason as well (e.g. when we try to drag-n-drop an item in, suddenly the group will go to the bottom of the list when it was at the top before). Just overall, the behavior in the Tab Groups pane seems very sketchy/inconsistent.

Dragging a tab from the tab strip into a tab group is not supported today: the pane only accepts items dragged from inside the pane itself. The supported way to move an open session to another group is to right-click its tab in the tab strip and use Tab group > Move to, which is the menu in your screenshot.

Understood - I do think it would be convenient to be able to drag-n-drop on the tab strip, and thus might be worth an addition in the future. But if we can do the same via the Tab Groups pane it's not that big of a deal (for me anyway) right now. But I don't believe we can select multiple tabs in the tab strip - so we can't move multiple tabs at a time using "move to". Hence the reason I would like to see it on the context menu from the Tab Groups pane (see below). Currently with the drag-n-drop behavior in the Tab Groups pane inconsistent, and no "move to" option for the context menu there, there seems to be no viable way to move multiple tabs. The only method working reliably for me currently is right-click a single tab in the tab strip -> Tab Group -> Move To.

On your third point you are right, and it is a related gap. Move to is not offered when you right-click an entry in the Tab Groups pane; there you get the regular entry menu.

Are there plans to fix this already? Or would I need to submit a feature request? Seems only natural that tab group-related options should appear on the context menu for items in the Tab Groups management pane.

Best regards,
