Tab tearing to multiple monitors

Hi, I searched for this, but I was unable to find anything. I would love it if Opera could drag a tab from one maximized window to another monitor's desktop and have the resultant new window maximized to that monitors' desktop.

Right now, tearing a tab will maximize the new opera window in front of the previous instance on the same monitor; I have to move it to the other monitor manually.

I love how Opera can tear tabs between window instances, so that is right on the money. I read something about Firefox adding tab tearing on lifehacker and thought: hey, I have been using this in Opera for years!

Oh, and THANK YOU for bringing back the shell dialog on context-click for transfers.

The proper term is (was) "Detach", not "tear". Otherwise ...

Yeah, this would indeed be nice if you're using multiple monitors. It could be handy when you're going to show some youtube videos or something else random on a TV or a Projector.

The current Opera behaviour is nonsense. You drag a tab across to the right hand monitor and it opens another window in the left hand monitor. So then you have to drag that window across to the right hand window again!
