Description of the new feature

When clicking on a tab, if it moves slightly, Windows Terminal always detaches the tab into a new window, which is rather annoying. I have been struggling with this issue for a long time and hope that an option can be provided to disable tab tearoff.

While searching for solutions, I noticed that others are also struggling with this same issue.
