[Chrome] Double Click to Close Tabs?

[Mr. Chronopoulos]

I've noticed lately that I have to click the button twice to close a tab (or the window) in Chrome on OS X. I'm not sure when it started, but it's been pretty recently. What's strange is this is only the case on my MacBook Air. It works fine with one click on my iMac. Anyone else experienced this? :/

I just tested the one-click tab close here on my windows 7 & Chrome 9, and it works fine.

I made sure that the tab was not in focus first, move mouse over, Red X appeared and it closed on the First click.

Middle click ;)

It could be that bug that has resurfaced lately - I cannot reproduce it and have never seen it myself on any of my machines so I can't offer any sensible advice.

Clearly you didn't read one word of my post, or you would know I'm using a trackpad. Stay informed, Calebro. (Y)

That's it. Too bad there's not really a fix yet. :/ Thanks for finding that though! At least I know it's not just me.

Clearly. Will do.

Oh wait, they don't teach sarcasm in the navy?

Oh leave it out and let's act like adults here, he's asking for reasons why the application is doing what it's doing. There are multiple solutions including gestures and command + w, but that doesn't answer this question. Basically run down the checklist;

- Is chrome the only application

- Double check and re-set your trackpad settings

- Wipe out the application settings for chrome

/library/application support/Google

- If that still fails, appzapper the ****** and reinstall it
