Description of the new feature

Problem: The mouse interaction with tabs makes it far to easy to accidentally detach a tab to a new window when clicking on it (mentioned in 18161). When clicking to select a tab if your mouse moves even a little while the button is down the tab detaches to a new window. The number of times I have intentionally detached a tab by dragging can be counted on the fingers of zero hands, but the number of times I've had to reattach the tab back to the original window would need a whole lot of fingers on a whole lot of hands.

Proposed Solution: Add a setting that allows you to disable tab detach / move mouse gestures. When set the only way to detach or move a tab is via the right-button menu on the tab itself.
