[GNC] Locking the side bar items

[Gyle McCollam]

I have never used that close button in the toolbar so removing it seems the best option to me as well.
Better that this should have been a "Reply to All", so that others would know that you have already corrected me.  I thank you and you are correct with what the OP was talking about, my bad.


Thank You,

Gyle McCollam

But the OP wasn't accidentally closing via the X on the tab, rather with
the X at the top, which is marked Close.

(I'm just clarifying. I don't support the request. If developers are to
make a change, IMHO a much better solution is David T's suggestion:
simply remove the "Close" at the top, since its effect of closing a tab
is different from what a user might reasonably expect, and there are
other ways to close a tab.)
