MacOS – How to drag the last Safari tab to another window

macossafaritabsweb-browser

When I have five windows open and want to consolidate two windows into one I usually manually drag & drop all tabs from one window to the second one. The issue is that you can’t drop the last tab onto another window.

My current workaround is to create a new (empty) tab, to drag & drop as usual, and then to close the window with that empty tab.

Is there a way to drag the last tab in Safari to another window like in Chrome or do I have to continue using my workaround?

In Safari, one can move even the last tab of a window into another window simply by clicking on the tab's title area and then dragging and dropping onto the tab space of your target window. Dragging the last tab to a new window causes that window to close.

This is what it looks like to move the last tab, which I had opened at Top Sites.

That is actual size. The window 'collapses' during the drag operation and becomes semi-transparent.

The requirement is that View | Show Tab Bar is selected when the window is open with a single tab. This setting is sticky; it will 'stick' between Safari sessions.
