Potential Tab Switching Bug

Occasionally when closing a current tab Opera will switch to the tab to the left of the closed tab instead of the tab to the right.

My experience with other browsers has lead me to believe this may be a bug. Additionally, when I've incurred this issue I have restored the closed tab and then re-closed it, Opera would then correctly switch to the tab to the right.

Tell me this isn't a bug. I have video footage of the issue now.
So when I experienced the issue again, I cloned a window with all the tabs. The issue didn't replicate in the new window.
Original window (Issue present):

Can you elaborate? Is the intended behaviour to be unpredictable? That seems like bad design to me.

For anyone interested, it appears that the following extension has provided me with the tab switching behaviour that I want.
https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/classic-tabs/
Enable "Activate the next tab" under "When closing a tab"
Guess the thread can be closed.

@drivas When you close a tab, Opera seems to activate the next tab opened from the same page.
So if you open page A and from it you open three links making tabs A1, A2 and A3 amd then you open page B on the right of A3 and B1 and B2 after that, when you close, for example, tab B, the one on the right will be made the active one while that if you close A3 the one on the left will be the next active tab.
