RE: Prevent closing windows with pinned tabsOpera for Windows
I pin things I don't want to close, for example an email session, or twitter, or a search result, then use the other tabs to look up things related to the primary subject, with multiple windows for multiple unrelated topics.
When done with a search I can "close all tabs to the right" and then recycle the window for another search or another purpose. I don't necessarily want to be able to close everything before I've determined I am actually done with the search.
When you have several window sets open it becomes increasingly easy to accidentally close the wrong set and then you have to wade through Recently Closed trying to recover it based on whatever the title of one of the pages in the set happened to be, whereas having a pinned item in the set would make it possible to avoid accidental closure of the entire set.

RE: Prevent closing windows with pinned tabsOpera for Windows
Why would you pin them if you want them to closeable?
It serves no purpose except to prevent closing, so it not preventing closing seems counter intuitive.At the very least it should pop a confirmation dialog before allowing it.
"You have pinned tabs in this window, are you sure you want to close it?"Best of both worlds.

Prevent closing windows with pinned tabsOpera for Windows
Since you can't close a pinned tab, as a safety precaution, by default you really shouldn't be able to close a window as long as it has pinned tabs.
