So you're basically saying that closing a Tab in a then non-empty Tab Group A switches focus to Tab Group B intermittently depending on the Content of the closed Tab?

Yes, exactly. It depends on the content of the closed tab and maybe on the content of the other opened tabs. I couldn't figure out which content causes the problem, but the scenario I described in the bug description reproduces the bug for me.

It is a problem with the addon All-in-One Gestures 0.22.1, the standard configuration for closing tabs seems to do some strange things. So no Panorama problem, sorry for bothering you.

Thanks for clarifying. You'd maybe want to contact the add-on author and bring this to the author's attention.
