Re: Left close buttons on tabs

 

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

On Firefox for example, there is an extension (Tab Mix Plus) which allows to put left close button at left side, with this order : Close - Icon - Name

And when there is only one tab opened, close button is kept :

And of course, the idea was here also to keep the "fast closing" property.

But having this at default (left close button + rapid-close ability) will make it logical with remaining of Ubuntu behavior.

The close-multiple-tabs-fast behaviour just requires that the tab
realignment be smart. If you look closely, Chrome realigns twice, once
for fast closing, then for better spacing.

In other words, if fast-closing is a goal, then it's perfectly possible
to ensure that successive close buttons are placed underneath one
another, and then the whole set are re-flowed once the obvious
"closefest" is over.

So, +1 for moving the close button to the left, for consistency, as long
as the rapid-close behaviour is preserved.
