Chromium 97 has a bug.
Moving tabs is not working properly. Attempting to move a tab to a different position now creates a new window of Chromium no matter what.
Before, a tab could simply be moved to arrange a different order of tabs. If the tab was moved some distance away from the group, a new window would be offered. Moving the new window back to where the other tabs are, it would go back to being placed in the tab group in the original window. Now it will always create a new window with no option to keep the tab being moved in the original window.
It's affecting both Bodhi 6.0 and Linux Mint 20.2
It does not affect Linux Mint 19.3

Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if it works in an earlier Ubuntu also?

Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if it works in an earlier Ubuntu also? It's not affecting Linux Mint 19.3 (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). I have no way of testing anything earlier. I have Zorin Lite for testing and I will look at it. I think I'll have to install Chromium. Edit: Just checked newest Brave, Version 1.34.80 (Chromium: 97.0.4692.71) and it's also suffering from the bug. |

Bodhi 5, which uses the ubuntu 18.04 package, has this issue.
I dont get why mint 19.3 wouldn't be affected. Either they use the ubuntu package or mint one, all of which seem to have this issue...

Update:
Affected on my systems: Bodhi 6.0 and Linux Mint 20.2 (Cinnamon).
Unaffected: Linux Mint 19.3 (Cinnamon) and Zorin Lite 15.3 (Xfce).
Both Mint 19 and Zorin 15 are based on Ubuntu 18.04

At the very least, I was able to downgrade Brave in Synaptic to the prior version (1.33.106).
Vivaldi and Slimjet haven't caught up yet and remain unaffected.
Opera hasn't updated since January 14.
None of the Firefox derivatives are affected.

The chromium 97.0.4692.99 snap package also doesn't suffer this issue. Nor does google-chrome 97.0.4692.99.
I still don't get why Mint & Zorin based on ubuntu 18.04 wouldn't be affected tho, while Bodhi 5.1 using chromium 97.0.4692.71 is.

It's affecting both Bodhi 6.0 and Linux Mint 20.2 It does not affect Linux Mint 19.3 Interesting. Chromium updates have become slightly problematic. I never know what is gonna be broken anymore  |

Brave has issued a partial fix with version 1.34.81
You can switch around the tabs like before, but if you take one down too far out of the group, that tab will not be able to rejoin the other tabs and it will remain its own window.
