Fancyzones causes tabs to disappear when trying to snap it back with other tabs

[ion-elgreco]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.836]
PowerToys version: v0.18.0
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if applicable): Fancyzones

Steps to reproduce

1. Install brave browser
2. Open up two tabs in separate windows.
3. Turn on fancyzones
4. Drag one tab into the other, so that your browser window has two tabs. Try to do this a couple of times and you will see the tab just disappears

Expected behavior

Tab has to snap into the browser

Actual behavior

Tab is crashing and closes instantly when you snap it in. This doesn't happen when fancyzones is off.

I was not able to record whole screen, but I am dragging a tab into the other one and it just crashes. In the video you even see it being attached and then closing, but what I am seeing is just an instant close on my screen.

The target window is in a zone, right?
I can reproduce the problem only in that case.
The problem is not something we can fix, it's happening because the tab it's actually zoned while also merged and the Brave browser can't handle that case.
If you turn on Hold Shift key to activate zones while dragging the problem should not happen. Can you confirm?

Yes it is.

But this behavior is only with with the recent update afaik.

This is a workaround, but now I need to hold shift every time, which is not practical.

You are right, it's a regression introduced in 0.18.
I tested the current 0.18.1 (that should be released later today) and it seems to be fixed.
Let's keep the issue open until you can test it with 0.18.1.
Thank you.

Alrighty then, I will give you an update if I have the new version.

tracked from #534 when we reopened

[crutkas]

We just released 0.18.1 which will have this fix included in it.

We just released 0.18.1 which will have this fix included in it.

It has fixed the issue of disappearing tabs, but new unwanted behavior is introduced. If I drag a tab now to the window, it will freeze or turn black. Then I cant close the tab anymore and I have to force close the application.

Opened a new issue: #3536

For what it's worth, this obviously (or maybe not so obviously) also addresses the same issue in the Microsoft Edge Chromium browser it seems.
