When using STG addon, how do you close the STG tab groups?

I've made several TAB GROUPS with the STG plugin. But when I want to close the tab group windows I get a warning like: "You are about to close 37 tabs. Are you sure you want to continue?" What? How do I close the windows without closing all the tabs and loosing them? Isn't the purpose of using STG to help you organize all of your open tabs so that you CAN close the windows? Or, when I close the STG Group and close the tabs, will they still be accessible through the STG Manage Groups window? Thanks for the help!

When you close a window then you lose the tabs in this window, so you need to leave all windows open. I don't think that the extension is supposed to support this as STG merely manages tabs in a window and allows to place them in groups.

Can't you collapse or hide a group or isn't this done automatically if you select/open another group ?
