Description

@ozmium

Summary

  • In all recent versions of SourceGit from 2025, it's difficult to drag or move the SourceGit window around the screen, when there are multiple tabs open.

The problem

  • The available areas to drag the window are far too small, and it's not obvious where they are.
  • The problem gets worse when there are multiple tabs of Git projects open.
  • This makes the usability not very good.
  • Other apps work better.
SourceGit small drag area

Possible solutions

  • Increase the drag area to include the empty areas of the toolbar. This is how many other apps work.
Proposed solution - Make the toolbar area draggable

How other apps do it

  • A good example is SourceTree or Mozilla Firefox, which have large drag areas on the Toolbar that are easy to find.
Toolbar area is draggable in SourceTree
