Description Praveen Thirukonda 2009-06-24 11:31:16 UTC 
When i middle click on the tab name in the row of tab names it should close.

This will bring uniformity with many apps and also improve usability.
Comment 1 Xavier Claessens 2009-06-24 12:18:49 UTC 
Like for bug #586831, none of epiphany, gnome-terminal and gedit support that. Uniformity does not mean "do as firefox even if it's the only application on earth doing that".

So like I said on the other bug, we should have a GNOME-wide decision to do that on all applications, or none.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2009-06-24 12:25:45 UTC 
No tabbed GNOME app does this destructive behaviour on a
single click on a region that's not clearly marked as destructive.

Other GNOME apps have also rejected this behaviour; e.g. gnome-terminal (bug
458059), epiphany (bug 319503, plus a few dups), nautilus (bug 558889), gedit (bug 445402).

And galeon (bug 150581).
Comment 4 Xavier Claessens 2009-06-24 18:01:45 UTC 
NOTABUG then :)
