Comment (by Thorin):

 The behavior is the same on Windows, and I was going to suggest this as a
 hacky workaround in the other ticket I just closed - especially if you
 only have one or two tabs open and don't want to lose them.

 There **is** at least a resize event triggered when a tab is moved between
 windows, but I'm not sure what it leaks (e.g. see the new window test
 where I build an array of changes: and detect the original pre-LB size,
 the LB border being applied, and LB: and in older TB's, the new window
 clamping is bypassed)

 STR
 - open TZP (inner should be e.g. `1000` width)
 - resize the browser width so you get `1100` width (LB stepped value)
 - open new window
 - drag TZP tab to new window
 - the resize event recalculated measurements: it should now say `1000`

 I also wonder what other events this triggers :)
