If the tabs in document area are partialy visible, they haven't got the close button. JDK 1.5.0_04
Created attachment 22059 [details] This screenshot shows the problem with the close button
I noticed this also on solaris/sparc
Yes, it's as designed, because when only part of the tab is visible, the space for clicking on it and not closing it would be too small, that's why close button is omitted in such case. Moreover, user would very rarely want to close some tab if she doesn't see the title of the tab.
