I now use the new Visual Studio 2010 and I experience something very annoying that wasn’t happening before with Visual Studio 2008. Something changed with the way it handles the floating of tabs and I can’t stand it. Every once in a while, I would somehow trigger the floating of a tab instead of just switching to it. It may have to do with the way I click (maybe a very fast double click gets sent), or maybe I very slightly drag the mouse when clicking the tab. I don’t know. All I know is that I was fine with Visual Studio 2008.
Is there a way to disable this somewhere? I want to either un-register the double click as a floating tab trigger, or remove the floating option altogether.
How can I do that?
Thanks.
It looks like the latest edition of Productivity Power Tools includes features to change how the tabs are displayed / can be used. It does not currently support disabling of floating tabs or disabling dragging tabs off the dock; but in the comments section of the page, there is mention of adding it in future versions.
Bonus feature: middle click scrolling.
