Hello Tom,

If you detach editor tabs frequently by accident, you can disable this feature in Options > Preferences, Perspectives Layout, "Allow detaching editors from the main window".

Regarding the black tabs, we've investigated and this can indeed occur on OS X if you enable 'Mirror Displays' after plugging in an additional display while Oxygen is running. This seems to be an issue triggered by the docking framework used by Oxygen when run with Java SE 6. We are looking into updating the docking framework in the next release of Oxygen.

From what we tested this problem does not occur with Java SE 8. So, if you find this issue annoying, you could use the alternative kit of Oxygen for 'OS X 10.8 and later (Includes Java SE 8)'. You can download it here (Oxygen XML Editor):

Please let us know if encounter further issues.

Regards,
Adrian

Thanks for pointing me to the videos. I watched them. It seems like detaching a tab is done by dragging the tab while keeping the mouse button depressed. However, my tabs are occasionally detaching when I just click the tab. Maybe I'm making a micro-drag gesture or something, but it's quite annoying.

Also, not sure why, but sometimes my tabs turn black. Here's an example: http://www.screencast.com/t/H2bYuhgoNAd

I'm on a Mac using OSX Lion. The black tabs phenomenon happens when I unplug from a Dell monitor and then plug back in. It only happens sometimes. To fix it, I have to totally quit Oxygen and restart it.

Hi Tom,

You can arrange the toolbars, side views and editors by dragging from their tab and dropping them to a new location.
This video demo shows how this works:

Please let us know more details if you think there is an issue with detaching an editor or a side view - right now I think there is no option to disable this functionality.

Best Regards,
George

How do you detach a tab? It seems like I'm inadvertently detaching tabs all the time when I don't want to. But I can't quite figure out exactly what I'm doing to detach the tab. I actually want to disable tab detaching.
