In chrome, firefox etc i like the feature of dragging tabs between different windows.

I think the same feature would also be useful in Windows Terminal

You can definitely do this today, you just have to aim for the tab bar when you do it.

If you can’t drag at all: running Terminal as admin disables all drag/drop because Windows is a broken OS.

Yep, this has been in the Terminal since 1.18. Unless of course you're running the Terminal as administrator - where all drag-drop doesn't work (due to platform limitations tracked in #6661)

/dup #1256

Hello, my bad. yes I am using it in Windows Server and I am logged on as Administrator. However the other window is also launched as administrator so I expected it to work.

Yea, I agree. I'd expect it to work too. Alas, without some major platform improvements, tab dragging in elevated windows will remain broken for a while. Sorry about that.
