When dragging tabs on the tab bar, we should show the tab and animate when you rearrange them, instead of showing a placeholder indicator like we currently do. We should also show a thumbnail of the page on detach operations, and make sure we have a good threshold, so this isn't triggered accidentally. | When dragging tabs on the tab bar, we should show the tab and animate when you rearrange them, instead of showing a placeholder indicator like we currently do.

Summary
When dragging tabs on the tab bar, we should show the tab and animate when you rearrange them, instead of showing a placeholder indicator like we currently do. We should also show a thumbnail of the page on detach operations, and make sure we have a good threshold, so this isn't triggered accidentally.

A. It's a 1:1 representation of what will happen when you drag a tab, and makes it clearer which action you're actually performing. B. It also makes it easier to see when you're moving tabs vs. detatching. C. Also, it's pretty ;)
