Accidental Tab Closing: UI design problem?
Since installing Logos 8, I repeatedly close tabs accidentally while trying to bring the tab to the front by clicking in it. I have a handful of tabs open, so the tab width is small. The active area around the X close icon is big enough that I catch it by accident.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I notice that the X icon is not shown until the mouse is within the tab. So when I move the mouse into the tab and click, I don't pause long enough before clicking to notice the X that just became visible. This seems to be a usability bug.

This has been raised by a number of people and I believe Faithlife is looking at it
It doesn't solve the problem but are you are aware you can reopen closed tabs (accidentally closed or otherwise)?

Thank you, yes, I am making use of the reopen closed tab.
I'm glad to hear they are looking into this. I chatted with support about this a few days ago and they wanted me to submit it as an enhancement request rather than a UI design bug. This didn't see right to me, but I did so.

Tim, hope you contnue your journey on the forum! (Ignore my dry humor as need be.)
I liked your comment about a UI design bug vs enhancement. I'm thinking that may work well, talking with our pastor (regarding behaviors that may need improving). "Pastor, that sounds like an enhancement. I'll add your vote."
