You can close tab by pressing Esc or by pushing a close button. I dont think 
that it
is a good idea to close tabs by middle button.

Maybe you can will it optional? If some people like that, why not?

Middle-click should close tab only if user clicked on the tab header, not the 
rest of 
chat window.

Browser experience misleads users to middle-click links ("open in new 
tab/window") in 
IM applications too. Okay if that does nothing, but if window SUDDENLY closes - 
that's 
very frustrating.

This approach makes this functionality not usable at all. It is necessary or 
leave 
as is or cancel in general.

Why? All browsers work as described, everyone use this feature and nobody 
complains.

At least there must be an option to disable this behavior in settings.

not active tab should be closed, but the clicked one
