The new tab group appears with the selected tab as its first member. Note that

In
IDEA
5.0, you can now have an unlimited number of tab groups, which means
you can see several files simultaneously or several places in the same file at once.
You can switch the orientation between the horizontal and vertical layouts by
right-clicking any tab and selecting the
Change Tab Groups Orientation
option.
You can move tabs between two tab groups by right-clicking the tab and selecting
the
Move to Opposite Tab Group
option. When you close the last tab in a tab
group, the editor returns to a single-pane layout.
