• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector

(via Nelson Thachuk:)

* SUMMARY
- It is possible to get the New Tab button in addition to the seven expected tabs

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Safari
2. Navigate to a webpage
3. Show Web Inspector (⌥⌘I)
4. Open all Web Inspector tabs
5. Close the Console tab
6. Click the New Tab button
7. From any tab, enter something in to the Console at the bottom of the tab
8. Click the “Show console tab” button (if required by the current tab)

* EXPECTED RESULTS
- New Tab tab should be replaced with Console tab

* ACTUAL RESULTS
- New Tab tab and Console tab coexist
- New Tab tab has no functionality since no tabs can be opened
- New Tab tab cannot be closed
- Close button for all other tabs moves from expected location to on top of the glyph representing the tab

I feel like a simple solution to this would be to just let the user close the New Tab tab.  I will often accidentally click it and it's very annoying to have to open Storage and then close it immediately thereafter.
