@Anonymous: If you follow the steps, you get "Detach" in the menu, however it doesn't work that well.

What an incredibly un-intuitive way to detach windows. Probably my least favorite thing about Opera so far - I can just imagine the nightmare of trying to explain to my parents how to get pop-up windows outside the main window.

Hi Tamil,
When doing this in Opera 9.5, instead of getting a window with no toolbars like before, dragging the tab to the the title bar just creates the tab in a new window...
Is there a way to fix this?

Or at least they can open resized to tab window -- that can be compromise.
