"x" to close tabs disappears when too many tabs are open

Not having a close button (to close the search)

When too many searches are opened, there is no button to close the searches and there is no option to close them with right click

This problem is not solved by closing the software and the reset state option should be used to solve the problem

@SoftTools59654: I think I understand the problem you're describing and I've reproduced it with GA Zui v1.5.0 in the attached video.

Indeed, when too many Query Session tabs are opened, the "x" that's typically used to close each tab gradually disappear, so it does become a challenge to recover from this state. While waiting on a fix, as I show in the video, it is still possible to select File > Close Tab from the pull-down menu to close the current tab, and once you've closed enough tabs to get back the "x" controls you can resume closing them that way. But I recognize that this may not be something a user would go looking for since they used a click to open the tab and are accustomed to clicking that "x" control to close it again. Also, I know that browsers like Google Chrome offer a right-click menu with a Close option similar to what you went looking for, so it does seem like that would be something helpful for us to add.
