I often have chrome://extensions open in a tab to load updated development versions of the extension. In working on #120, I noticed that whenever the new "launchpad" shared a window with the extensions tab, it would close not only itself, but also the extensions tab.
In testing, I confirmed that this is not unique to the new "options" page, but in fact happens whenever you close a tab that shares a window with (only) the chrome://extensions tab.
Given that "normal" tabs are left open, this seems like Chrome's behaviour rather than anything we have control over. Leaving this open for research and note taking, perhaps we can find a workaround.
