That's a notion I absolutely have to second. I find this behaviour by far superior to a close button in every tab, since the close button is "harder to hit". Actually, I've gotten so used to this, I try closing tabs in every program with a doubleclick

I agree. I find the close tab button hard to hit when I'm trying to click it, but seem to have fairly good luck hitting it accidentally.

I (and others) don't experience this bug. Have you got TBX installed?
I've tracked it down. It's a 3-way incompatibility between miniT, FLST and Download Statusbar. miniT and FLST is fine, miniT and Download Statusbar is fine. All 3 at once breaks drag and drop of tabs.
I can reproduce this if miniT is started directly after these.
downbar and flst remove their onLoad handler and cause the next handler to be skipped. Since they are using capturing the remaining handler would then be called on the second event which miniT is watching, and since it doesn't use capturing it will be fully prevented.

On topic request: AFAIK, I've seen no TBE alternatives that make external requests (i.e. from MSN Messenger, Emails etc) load in an *active* tab. I get a new tab fine with TBP and the DDE thing set appropriately, but it always loads in the background... am I missing something?
Do you have "Browsing: Open links in the background" checked under Tools/Options/Advanced?

AFAIK, there isn't a built-in pref for choosing which tabs get opened in the foreground and which get opened in the background. It's either all or nothing. Someone should write an extension for this.
Edit: Oh yeah, anyone wanna write an extension so that if I have the tabbar open (through the prefs to keep it open) with 1 tab left and I close the tab, it makes the tab blank?
When I click on the Options button I get:

But other than that, the site's window opens in a tab
