drag a tab to split-screen is broken
Have a few tabs open, then click and drag one of them to either side of the screen so that tab detaches into its own window and is split screen. Notice that tab you dragged to either side of the scre...
Bdsrev To loop back, here's some info on the split-screen issue, called "Windows Snap:" this seems like it may be related to that Chromium bug, so our devs are continuing to actively track it. (And your feedback actually did help them, so thank you for the original callout!)
We'll let you know if/when there are any further updates on this.

There are heaps of bugs in Windows 10, including the one that I posted above which was introduced in 1903. I don't think Windows 10X will be magically different or that they'll rush to fix them. They haven't done that for the Surfaces. Just drag/swipe up on an item on the taskbar and the first item will have a focus rectangle. Another older bug. So anyway, I don't think they'll fix this Edge/Chromium bug.
It's also found in WinUI, Edge UWP/Spartan and Firefox but NOT in IE! With IE though, once you start to snap the tab, it turns into a window and you can't drag it back into a window anymore. The difference between Chrome and Edge UWP/Spartan and Firefox is that dragging a tab to snap it to the side shows a preview of what it should look like. Once you release it maximises. It's so so close to being perfect.

Maybe because that Bug is not that severe?
every software has bugs, there can't be a bug free software or OS

and until you told me how to reproduce it Intentionally, I didn't even notice it. so I see why it's not fixed.

- Of course you can't have a bug free OS. It wasn't there before 1903 though. We don't know what changes they really make in each build. You need steps to repro when you report bugs usually anyway.
What I'm disappointed in Microsoft with is the lack of action. There are people who work for Microsoft who have seen this thread. And just generally speaking, Windows 8.1 and earlier builds of W10 had fewer bugs. The quality of W10 got noticeably worse with the Anniversary Update. And just because that bug isn't severe, it affects Windows' snap. If they only fix crashes then I'd be really surprised. And you have to acknowledge that Microsoft doesn't test their software like they used to.- Spoiler

- I wonder just how disconnected each team at Microsoft are from each other.
