<![CDATA[Closing tabs button disapearing]]>Recently I noticed a very annoying feature when many tabs are open, and the close button disappears. It appears only if you move the mouse pointer over the tab. This is terribly inconvenient, especially when you need to close many tabs selectively. Is this a feature or a bug?

This is some latest addition - maybe to prevent accidental closong of tabs (because they replaced quick tab reopening button with some unasked function).

I don't close tabs so often, but inability to quickly close background tabs is not welcome.

But now you can’t quickly close one-click many randomized tabs. Will it be possible to disable this feature in the settings?

It allows you to see more of the title. If you right-click on a tab you'll see an option to close all tabs to the right to conveniently close lots of tabs, Or Ctrl-click the tabs to keep and use Close other tabs.
