Hello support team,
this thread is not primarily open as a bug report, but rather is intended to help others who use the TabCloseMenu plugin.

As of October 2019, the override gh1648 has been defined for the TabCloseMenu plugin. Now I've found that the method used to close the tab sometimes stopped working over time:
onClose: function () {
    this.tabPanel.closeTab(this.item);
}
That's why I use my own override, which works for me:
onClose: function () {
    this.tabBar.closeTab(this.item.tab);
}
Kind regards,
Dan
