P: CS6 - Tearing a tab into its own window makes it impossible to move. (Win, Task Bar)

Tearing a tab into its own window makes it impossible to move. (I don't use tabs because they're too inflexible.) If I try to move a document, it snaps to a totally different spot. If I move it multiple times, it slowly migrates across the screen until it is impossible to work on at all. Turning off the tab setting altogether does not help this problem. In fact, at this rate, doing so would make getting anything done impossible.

Secondarily, it would also be nice if every new document window did not appear in my toolbar, because then I have to alt+tab through potentially 10 open documents each time I switch to Photoshop. Plus, it's really cluttered.

Yep, moving the taskbar to the bottom of the screen fixes the problem. As a personal comment, I can't go back to a horizontal task bar for the same reason I'm excited about the new Photoshop: it's a killer productivity upgrade, so hopefully you can get this fixed.

Well, that's the strangest thing. I'll see if we can repro internally. Thanks for the video.

Try moving your windows taskbar to the bottom of the desktop and see if that makes a difference.

Some co-workers noticed the same thing on windows 8 using cs6.

Hmm. Can you make a video of this behavior? http://forums.adobe.com/message/42092...
