Apple doesn't care about this bug

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.
 
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.
 
I forgot to type in here when I tried out Big Sur Public Beta 9 just a few days ago - Safari exhibited the same tab missing 'x' as @-BigMac- In essence I would see exactly what the screenshot depicts. I'm trying out Big Sur again later today I think.

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).

What if, after you move the cursor from tab 3 to tab 2 (and there is no x) you move the cursor to the bottom (in the web page) and then you move again to the tab (2)? For me the x appears again.

Yea thats a way to temporarily return it, which is a bit annoying haha
 
In the future things like window widgets will fade from view when they are not in use and appear when the cursor moves over them. The Creative Cloud app already does this.
 
I would prioritize this pretty low, it isn’t about caring. It is simply the reality of software development.
