How do you close only one window (not tab) when you have two open?

I can close a tab when I have multiple ones open but if I have two windows open and I close one window it closes all other windows. How can I close just one window without shutting down any other windows?

Clicking the red X icon normally closes just the current window, but when you click it, it closes all windows?

The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+w (close tab) should work to close a window when it only has one tab open. You could try that as a workaround until we figure out what's going on with your red X button.

Yes, when I click on the red X it closes both windows. I'll try the Ctrl+w Thanks

Ctrl+w worked in closing one window and leaving the other one open. I'll try and remember that until the red X gets resolved. Thanks again
