There's this ability to drag Opera tabs around, how to get rid of it?

Enable Drag=0 option oddly doesn't work for tabs, /NoChangeButtons switch
only prevents rearranging them.
Now the most annoying part - dragging tabs inside a page or outside a
window - how to stop it?

I guess you are one of the first to complain about being able to rearrange
your tabs. There is at the moment no setting to disable this.

Not about rearranging - rearranging is ok.
It's about dragging a tab (accidentally) onto a page (duplicates tab in
foreground) or out of Opera window (creates separate window) - really
annoying stuff.

That's cool! I always used rightclick "duplicate..." - dragging is much
quicker when using a trackball. Thanks for the hint :D

I think that most of the people didn't recognize that, because their Opera
window is always maximised.

Dragging a tab on the menu bar or title bar still "tears" it off when
maximized.
And there's no way to put it back after that, have to close that new
window, open new tab, enter address then either wait for the page to load
or lose that page when offline.

Not so....they can be managed through the windows panel via drag and drop.
