IE version 8, bug in close current tab functionality

[Sreenath Kurpad]

I am running IE version 8 on WinXP. I am reporting an issue with the current

tab funtionaliy. When I close the IE browser, I get a popup to close all tabs

or the current tab. By clicking the current tab the browser gets closed

instead of closing the current tab. So basically, close all tabs and current

tab are functioning the same way. I am surprised it was not detected in your

product testing.

Hi,

I'v never seen anopther report of this. See if a browser add-on is causing

this problem on your computer.



Start Internet Explorer without add-ons by right-clicking the IE icon on the

desktop. Choose Start without add-ons.

or

from Start> Programs> Accessories> System tools> Internet Explorer (no

add-ons)

If the problem goes away, you have an incompatible browser add-on installed.



For troubleshooting information see:

Just tested with IE8 on XP SP3 here, works as expected - clicking Close

Current Tab only the currently active tab is closed, not the entire browser.

As Don suggests, you may well have a 3rd party add-on loaded that is

overriding the close tab handling. Do you have IE7Pro installed, for

instance?
