The problem is that the close button for the tabs is to the right of their title, i.e like this:

  _|jquery-1.6.js x|_|jquery-ui-1.9.js|_|...

This unfortunately means that with differently named js files (most importantly with names of different length), there is no one position in that tab bar that I can successively click to close many tabs. Which means I have to constantly reposition my mouse which is a pain.

Which in turn leads to many open tabs that clutter up the interface and get in my way navigating between source files. Which makes the whole point of the feature kind of moot.

So I'm lobbying for other ways to close those files that are easily discoverable. What seams easiest to me is to just move the close widget to the left of the name as that allows me to click the same location to close successive tabs.

Regards,
Martin
