UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36
(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2145.4 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open multiple tabs
2. try and drag tab out of browser to open start a new window
3. or open a tab, find a link in the page right click open in new window

What is the expected behavior?
Whoa, Chrome has crashed... everytime

What went wrong?
Since a recent update (just prior to the ugly font problem) tabs and have
been held prisoner to one window.

Did this work before? Yes Prior to the ugly font/resolution issue

Chrome version: 39.0.2145.4 Channel: dev
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0

I am a website developer and rely on quickly and easily being able to open
and drag new tabs and windows around multiple monitors.

I am having the same problem. For the past few days, when I try to drag a
tab to a new window, the dragged tab becomes a white tab on top of all the
other tabs and it cannot be moved. The only way I can get rid of it is with
Task Manager.
The same thing happens if I right-click the Chrome icon in the task bar,
and select "New Window." It is very annoying because it is often very
convenient to work with two (or more) active windows. Now the only way I
can do that is to open a separate window in Firefox or Explorer.

I am having the same problem too. For the past few weeks, when I try to

drag a tab to a new window, the dragged tab becomes a white tab on top of
all the other tabs and it cannot be moved. The only way I can get rid of it

is with Task Manager or if I alt+ Tab and it restores to a tab in previous
window.

Tried updating my OS (Windows 8) and updating to the latest version of
Chrome, but I'm still having the issue you're describing. For over a week,
I've been unable to open more than one Chrome window- and trying to drag a
tab into a new window locks the browser up.

I haven't been able open multiple windows for a week, either. It happened
just after a windows update. First I tried re-downloading Chrome and thenI
tried downloading Firefox to check if it was just a chrome problem and all
I get is black screen for FF. Explorer seems to work okay.

Ditto. Exactly the same problem as post #4 for two or three weeks now.
White box appears and hangs. Alt+tab flicks it back into the single Chrome
tab, but I too like to have lots of tabs open as separate windows, esp. for
things like the radio and iPlayer on a different monitor.

Rebooting the PC seems to help, but not just restarting Chrome. Problem
comes back after about 4-5 different tabs open.

Ditto... same issue
Since auto update Win8
Rebooting does NOT resolve
