Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 23940 by schivmeister: [Feature Request][Tabs] Remove support for closing if active tab is the only tab http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=23940
Chrome Version : 4.0.221.2 (Developer Build 27944) What is the expected result? A user should not be allowed to close a tab if it is the only tab open. As Chrome is tab-oriented, instead of removing the "tab bar" (which is inherently not possible), simply remove the "x". Similarly, it should not be draggable since branching it out to create another window defeats the purpose. This provides a safeguard against users with such bad habits (below). What happens instead? If a user unsuspectingly clicks on the "x" of the only tab, the "application" closes. This may not be what the user wants. He may just be feeling the need to clear out all tabs "for the time being". This is a habit ported over from other browsers whereby the tab bar is not viewable by default (behaviour can be changed). Opera, for instance, just displays its Speed Dial (akin to Bookmark Bar here). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
