Chrome tab closes on dragging to quick

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior
1

Action: Click on a chrome tab and then move the pointer while holding the button.
Expected behavior: Move the tab, either within the window, to create a new window or to an existing new window.
Behavior: Chrome closes the tab.

Workaround: Click the tab, hold the button for a very short delay (0.2s or so is enough) and then move the pointer.
Behavior: Works as expected.

If I quit BTT, it works as expected without the delay.

Direction of the movement doesn’t matter. I’m not touching the X button.

I have a lot of my own presets with my own triggers, but none of those can explain the behavior - especially not with the delay workaround. And I have AquaTouch, but that is for the touchbar, and should not affect normal mouse events. I’ve searched through both without finding any culprit.

Anything in BTT's recently used section after you do that? (I can drag my chrome tabs fine & fast)

Thanks for the pointer.

I think this is the culprit:

Not sure why it would trigger though, but that double-tap delay fits.

I only have it to disable accidental taps.

False alarm! That was not it.

It was a trigger making one-finger force click act as middle click. And middle click on a tab in Chrome closes that tab.

Apparently I guess I press harder when I’m not being cautious to make sure there’s a delay…

You could adjust the required force:
