      Can Opera Development Team consider implementing a Lock Tab feature so that locked tabs can not be inadvertently closed without an explicit user confirmation (or unless the tab is unlocked first).

      Business Case:

      1. Online Meetings these days run as browser applications. It is getting as a chaos if inadvertently these windows are getting closed.
      2. Financial Applications often have transactions in progress. If something a takes a while we navigate to other tabs and come back to verify something. In the melee if we have too many tabs, the options like 'Close Other Tabs', 'Close Tab' and 'Close Tabs To the Right' could inadvertently break the transaction page.

          Wow. Thanks @leocg. I guess it is quite precisely. It does not seem to be closing when 'Close Other Tabs' is exercised'.

          Thank you
