Description Zaki Manian 2008-09-07 21:11:35 UTC 
I've been finding that Copy option and Close Tab/Close Window option in the right click context menu often occur very close to each other. This frequently results in accidental closing of the terminal. 

Either the Close Tab/Close Window button should always be at the bottom of the context menu(as in Terminator) or it the order of menu items should editable

Maybe "Close terminal" shouldn't be in the context menu at all...

Retitling to reflect what I think is the only thing in comment 0 that *might* get implemented in g-t.

I accidentally close the terminal too.  I have a sensitive touchpad that occasionally opens the popup.  I hit the "l" trying starting to type "ls" and my window is gone before I realize what has happened.  It's been annoying enough change it and compile it myself.
