From Rex - Take your computer outside, get a big can of gasoline, pour it on your computer, light it on fire, then take the smouldering remains and put it in a box, put the box in your car, drive out on the freeway, push your box out of the car at 80 mph.

Post never.

If you click on a Chrome tab and drag it up or down, or all the way to the left or right, it will pull that tab out into a new window. So, rather than just clicking on the tab, you are somehow clicking & dragging the tab up or down, or the like.

If you are using a laptop with a touchpad with the "tap to click" feature enabled, you could be clicking & dragging without realizing it. It's much tougher to do by accident with a mouse.

Regardless, you can see what you are doing by just doing it on purpose. Click on a tab, keep the button down, and drag it down, and it will pop out into its own window.
