Tabs do not leave first window entirely anymore

When I take a tab out into its own separate window, it kind of stays in the first window. When I attempt to close it in the first window, it gets closed in its own window. This has never happened before!

Also when I attempt to reopen the closed tab it starts opening untitled tabs. And if I attempt to close it, it creates more, more and MORE of those more I click the "close" button.

I found this on reddit and it worked for me:

Close Safari and then open it back up again in safe mode (hold the Shift key while opening Safari).
Open a few tabs and drag one of them into a new window. The problem should go away now.
Close Safari and re-open as normal. Duplicating tabs should not happen anymore.
