"Close tab" now always closes the tab I have active

Description of the issue: Since earlier today (I think I just got the latest update), right clicking other tabs at the top of the screen and clicking “Close” always closes the tab I’m currently looking at, instead of the tab I right clicked. This is extremely frustrating. Is this a bug, and/or is there an option somewhere to change this behaviour?

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. Right click a tab at the top of the screen, other than the one you have open. 2. Click “Close”.

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!): The currently open tab closes.

Expected result: The tab you right clicked closes.

Reproduces how often: Always.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu): Windows 10, Brave 1.83.109

Additional Information: This does not depend on visual proximity; even having the rightmost tab open, and trying to close the leftmost tab, always closes the rightmost tab instead.
