When there are enough tabs on the tab bar so that tabs are shrunk down and/or tab bar becomes scrollable, rapidly clicking the close button on the last button will close the last tab, but will not close the tab before it that expands to fill its place.

For example, suppose you have 15 tabs. Minefield has shrunk them down so that they all fit into the tab bar. Now suppose that you want to quickly close the last 5 tabs. You click on the close button on the last tab. The last tab closes and all the other tabs expand their size to fill up the tab bar, so that the current last tab's close button is in the same place, right under your cursor. Now a user seeing how the close button is still in the same place, rapidly clicks it again to get rid of the other 4 tabs that he needs to close. However, the rapid clicks on the close button do nothing to the tabs. It's as if the button became unresponsive. But by clicking slowly, the tabs go away.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create 15 tabs or however many to make the tabs shrink by a substantial amount.
2.Rapidly click on the close button of the last tab
3.The number of tabs do not seem to reduce because they aren't being closed!
Actual Results:  
Close button becomes unresponsive for repeated clicks.

Expected Results:  
Rapidly clicking on the close button should close tabs until there are not enough tabs to cause the close button to remain under the cursor.
