Here's some things I've discovered
grab in the blank area next to the "tab". Then drag slowly, pause
where you might want it and you'll get "preview" of where it will go.
If you drag it "into" another view, it will add tabs to that view.
Also, move SLOW and watch the pointer. If it changes to a rolodex
looking pointing then it will add the tabs to that view. The up/down/
right/left arrows show where the window will be pasted, relative the
the window underneath. Just don't "drop" it until you're sure it is
where you want it.
