Move tabs across Opera windows

We can easily move a tab to a NEW Opera window by using the "Detach" option from tab context menus, or drag the tab to outside of the Opera window. But I more often want to move a tab to another existing Opera window!

I wish there will be a sub-menu at "Detach" when more than one Opera window exists, with the following options:
- Detach to a new window
- Detach to existing window #2
- Detach to existing window #3 ...

And/or even more simple to use, dragging tabs to other Opera windows.

Using Opera on various platforms. Always the latest version. Linux Ubuntu/Gnome/Unity, Windows XP/7, Symbian 9.3 (Opera Mini)

Just noticed the 'detach' context menu option has disappeared on my work pc (Opera 11.60, win xp).
It's there (and used a lot) on my personal pc (11.60, linux).

Can anyone confirm this? Any way to fix?

Nothing to confirm. The menu option was only ever present in Linux. In Windows, you instead dragged the tab (from the tab bar) to your desktop or taskbar.

You can no longer drag a page tab to a new window and expect it to open. You can, however, drag it to the text box in the address bar of a new window, and then press enter. You will have the original page plus a duplicate in a new window. If you drag a page tab to the windows desktop, you will open a new Opera window, with that page in it. The original page will be moved to the new window, as opposed to duplicated in the new window.
