closing one affinity photo document sends me to the first tab instead of the closest one

hey all,

i'm at a bit of a loss for this change in behaviour which i believe happened at some point after 2.6. i'm currently on 2.6.2 on windows, at least

when having a session open with multiple tabs in affinity photo, the prior behaviour would always take you to the tab beside the one you were working on which made a lot of sense to me! but now, whenever i close a tab, it always zips me to the tab all the way to the left of the list, which is not where i would want to be in 99% of the situations i work in. it's a small change but quite annoying, as i now need to perform more clicks for my workflow and preferred way of navigating, and there does not seem to be an option to change it that i can find. is there somewhere i can fix this? was this an unintentional change as a result of the patches?

AFAIK, at least in the Mac versions, closing one tab always has sent me to the last one I accessed, not necessarily the closest or first tab.

IOW, no change in behavior, including V1 & all V2 versions.

i took a screen recording to actually highlight the issue which i genuinely believe is a bug that was introduced, perhaps exclusively to the windows version, in 2.6.2. this is following a complete reset of my affinity photo settings and a reinstall of the app. as you will notice, regardless of which file i close, it will always return to the first slide which is incorrect behaviour!
