Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When the Show Tabs setting is changed to Single, the close button (✕) on the tab is no longer displayed. This makes it impossible to close the tab using the UI.

Steps to Reproduce

1.	Open the application.
2.	Go to the settings/preferences menu.
3.	Set Show Tabs to Single.
4.	Observe the tab bar.

Expected Behavior

The close button should remain visible even when “Show Tabs” is set to “Single.”

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Hey, it looks like this was hidden in the latest update. Here’s my reply on that topic - you can also bring the close button back this way.
