# Tester for reorderable tabs. Sure are a lot of GTK regressions here.

# GTK 3.20.4 terminates the drag as soon as the pointer goes outside the
# notebook whose tab is being dragged. Reordering of tabs within a
# notebook is still possible. https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint/issues/682
#
# GTK 3.16.3 dumps core when trying to drag a tab into an empty
# notebook. The following is seen when you try:
# Gtk:ERROR:[...]/gtk/gtknotebook.c:3832:gtk_notebook_drag_motion: \
# assertion failed: (priv->cur_page != NULL)
