Comment #78 on issue 13 by iambob: Closing last tab also closes window http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13
No, from the developers' perspective, these two facts are true: 1) The Chromium browser without a tab open is useless and should never happen. 2) The close button on a tab should act "in a vacuum." That is to say, it shouldn't need to be aware of any other tabs. So, if it is the "last tab" or "one of seven" tabs should be irrelevant as to how the close button on the tab responds. Given these two facts, and accepting that breaking either of these rules is out of the question, how do you suppose solving this situation other than to say "throw out the rules" or "other browsers so such-and-such"? This is the crux of the problem and the water is getting cloudy with talk that completely disregards these two facts/rules, which is exactly why suggestions that ignore these philosophies result in a "WontFix" response. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
