If you can't lock tabs

I'm new to Opus and fell into an interesting trap. I changed several Preferences during experimentation, then found that right-clicking on a tab would no longer include 'Lock Tab' in the dialog box. I finally found that [Preferences] Folder Tabs/Options contained a check box named 'Treat tab label as folder when dragged or right clicked'. I unchecked that box and regained the ability to lock tabs. I could find nothing in HELP or any online resource that mentioned this consequence of that check box.
