Try turning *on*:

As far as I can tell, that says: "If I close the current tab,
switch to the tab that was current just before that one."

It follows the chain back, so if you open a bunch of tabs; then
click on some of them in order P, E, T, A, L; then keep closing
"the current one"; it'll switch to A, T, E, P -- regardless of
their visible order in the list.

In your example, that would be the report you drilled down from,
and then whichever tab was current before you viewed the report
in the first place.
