I tested on a clean W10 1803 64 bit and the issue does not show. For now I have disabled preview in explorer as I think it is causing other issues as well. If I have time I will test further with this clean W10 machine to see what piece of software causes the behavior. Still leaves me puzzled as to why the plain vanilla W8.1 shows the issue. Will investigate in coming weeks

Hmmmm; on my plain vanilla W8.1 machine I continue to suffer from the same issue and there's no software installed that could intercept CTRL+N If I press CTRL+N however that works as expected even when a txt or pdf file is selected. I think it is best to troubleshoot this on a plain vanilla VM
For me that does not work at all. Using W10 Pro v1703 64bit & Groupy 1.17 , issue was also present with W10 Pro v1607 64 bit Groupy v1.1 I just tested on a clean plain vanilla W8.1 machine; same issue. Could it be a regional setting that is interfering ? I tested on the W8.1 machine changing from dutch (belgium) to english (US) to no avail. Can you please test on a plain vanilla machine ?
By "adding a tab" I mean clicking the "+" sign. See this video: https://www.screencast.com/t/Ccous4n6NG9
I've done that to no avail ; did you enable the preview pane in explorer ?
How about .txt file; if you select a .txt file with preview on can you add a tab ? My default editor is Notepad++ How about if you select an Excel .xlsx file (I use Microsoft Office 2016) Foxit Phantom Business is my default PDF reader.
If Windows Explorer is in a tab & preview pane is enabled then one cannot add a tab if for example a .txt or .pdf file is selected. If however for example a .jpg file or a subfolder is selected than a tab can be added.
OK , purged & reinstalled to no avail. tested a little further. I have my preview pane enabled in explorer and that seems to be causing it; if I disable it all works as expected. Please try. I run W10 pro v1703 64bit , Groupy 1.17 Thx

Depending on the number of tabs open & the width of the groupy window one cannot grab the titlebar (click & hold) to drag the groupy window to some other place on the screen. In the first image there is hardly or even no room to click & hold right of the 3 dots In the 2nd screen there is some room right of the 3 dots & it sho
I only use groupy to group explorer.exe windows & I continue to see issues with the "+" add a tab button; usually does not work when the first tab is focused but not always. So for example I have 2 explorer tabs with focus on the 1st tab then hit the "+" button and nothing happens. Focus on the 2nd tab & then hit the "+" button and things work. But at times it does work as expected so what I get is a random behavior.

It would be great to have those buttons available in the tab bar as well (see top right red rectangle in the screenshot). Minimize/maximize from the current explorer window can be used but it is less logical imho. A close button would make closing all tabs easier compared to using the 3dots menu. Thank you
