The tab also entered a wierd unselectable state, when i couldn't switch to it (even with ctrl-tab/ctrl-shift-tab) but could close it.

This seems to fix the problem for me. However, I don't understand the other weird behaviors mentioned here. They may be unrelated bugs.

On Linux, middle click goes back in history, so I wonder if #2 is a similar manifestation to bug 862519
