So let me see if I understand this. I have three tabs open, including this one I am typing in. Currently none of the tabs have an X on it. As soon as I hover over any of the tabs on any part of the tab, an X shows up to click on the tab I am hovering on. When I move away from the tab, the x disappears. Is that not happening for you?
The tab you are currently on, click on it, to confirm its selected, then without leaving the tab area, hover over another tab. Click on it. Then without leaving the tab area, click on the original tab. Now when you hover over where the X should be, it's not there

It worked for me using these exact steps. I'd upload a video if I could to prove it. I know I can upload a pic. This is on a 2018 15" MB Pro.
Mmm might be dependant on the model of Mac then..
since some others have been able to replicate it.

seems to be a speed issue... so yes, perhaps related to the mac you're own, and the screen drawing the x...
Works perfectly fine here going through those exact steps as well. X pops up right away when I move back and forth over either tab I have open. Im thinking your Mac may be possessed with the issues its got.
There are several bugs they don’t care about...
Try this, happening since OS X Yosemite:
Create two users on a mac
Link each user to its own iCloud account linked to their own iPhone
Turn on the Mac, log into user A
Try handoff or continuity camera to scan a document or personal hotspot
Fast switch to user B
Try the same. Not working.
Go back to user A
Try again, not working.
Only solution is a restart. It’s been driving me insane since 2012 or so. Reported 21 times.

am not saying these problems aren't important, not at all; but anything that requires someone to 'try this: do these things, see what happens' can't be that urgent, if 99% of users don't do those things regularly (or notice that issue).
