Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0 RC1 (Build 201402242200) Operating System = Linux version 3.13.5-1-ARCH running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.0-b67 Chrome (web browser) has this ability when closing tabs, that the X to close the tab will be in exactly the same spot as the previous tab closed, it resizes the tabs once you move away from the tab bar, this is useful for when you want to close multiple tabs but not all of them, because you can just keep clicking the X without moving the mouse. I would fine this behavior useful in netbeans as I am relatively frequently closing multiple tabs, or selecting closeall tabs and then reopening a few.
Ctrl+w keyboard shortcut does the same stuff.
