When I create a 'new folder' in finder or other file managers, the folder name field is immediately focused so that I can type the new folder's name. 

I have the same expectation when creating a new group, but instead I get search.

Current behavior:
1) click and drag to create new tab group
2) type 'foo' to name the group, hit enter
3) get told there are no search results for foo.

Expected behavior:
1) click and drag to create new tab group
2) type 'foo' to name the group, hit enter
3) the group is now named 'foo'

Would be nice for this to Just Work. :)
That certainly seems like the sort of behavior we want! Adding it to the b9 (fit n' finish beta) list so we can discuss it more when we get there.

Attached patch patch v1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
@Alex: the patch focuses the title input field when using mouse drag to create a new tab group. Shall we also focus the input field when creating a group via dragging a tabItem onto an orphan tab? Without the orphan tab concept we would immediately create a new group when dragging a tab out of its group.

I don't feel like it's the right thing to focus the input field when not explicitly creating a new group but it's up to you :)

Do we know what was wrong with the original patch which caused this to be backed out?

I relanded all other patches except bug 633190 - that was actually causing this intermittent orange. So this patch should be safe.
