I have the same problem. As far as I can tell it is new today since Windows 11 24H2 updates in the last two days.

An inconvenient workaround is to select the tab without dragging it, then Menu...Window...New Window. This opens a new window (instance) with the desired document. The tab in the original window can then be closed.

Thank you. I am using this as the alternative to the dragging method.

Hi. I agree on it being a recent occurance. I have it on multiple Windows 11's including 23H2 and 24H2.
