MissyQ I think that double click to close is a mistake. Why isn't the visible X sufficient? Is it too small a target.
I already have an issue that I go to select a tab just after closing one and as I go to click the mouse or tap on the trackpad that the tabs readjust in size when where I went to click in the middle of one tab is the X from another tab. Usually reopening the tab is sufficient but I have lost info. The point is that I don't want it to be too easy to accidentally close a tab since the X and Ctrl+W are already both easy. Is another really necessary?
