What happened?

zen-browser-bin 1.12.9b-1 (AUR)
Archlinux 6.15.2-arch1-1

When using a normal tab and trying to manage tabs with the recently used menu (Ctrl + Tab), if i close an essential that was loaded using (Ctrl + W), It removes the essential from my essential tabs.

This doesn't happen when the essential is loaded, and i close it normally from the tab itself with Ctrl + W.
I don't know if this is intended.

Expected behavior

I simply want to "unload"/close a tab when i press Ctrl + W from the recent tabs

Actual behavior

Removes the essential tab from my essentials, Causing me to readd it.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Load an essential
  2. Go to another tab
  3. Try to manage tabs with Ctrl + Tab
  4. Close the essential from the recent tabs (Ctrl + Tab) menu using Ctrl + W
