Tapping ‘x’ on tab doesn’t close it on iPadOS

Tapping the ‘x’ next to the title of a tab should close the tab but nothing happens. I have to tap the “tabs” button (shows number of tabs open). If the tabs didn’t have the ‘x’ in them, I wouldn’t try to tap them to close them. On my iPhone, the UI makes it clear that the way to close, open, or view tabs is by tapping the ‘tabs’ icon.
