The presence of a close button you can left-click does not replace the desirable feature to be able to middle-click on a window to close it. With this, the whole window is a click target, so it can be much much faster than having to aim for the little close button. Also it's off by default, so a user who goes out of their way to turn it on is signaling that they want to accept the risk of accidentally closing a window by accident. Finally, the feature is not allowed for left-click, so people can never accidentally wreck Present Windows for themselves by assigning it to left-click by accident and then mistakenly closing their windows. This reverts commit 55585514f926d1251148e876bfe9ce3504432997. FEATURE: 321190 FIXED-IN: 5.17.0
