2 Brave windows opened on 2 screens, closing last tab of one kill the process Brave

I can confirm this behaviour, somewhat.

  • It doesn’t have to be across multiple screens, but two separate windows are necessary
  • I actually think the issue only happens when you close the tab via the close button (x) on the tab itself.

When closing it via keyboard shortcuts, brave does not force close / crash or whatever is happening there.

I’m on Win 11, using Version 1.68.128 Chromium: 127.0.6533.73 (Official Build) (64-bit).

EDIT:

I’ve narrowed the problem down to the Updated horizontal tabs design flag (brave://flags/#brave-horizontal-tabs-update) when it is set to disabled.

If you enable the new (and ugly) bubble design the issue is not present.

I’ve just made a proposal for the new tab design, that i feel must of us who don’t like the current direction could live with.
