So, it only scrolls tabs when mouse is actually over a tab - it doesn't permit
the entire tabbar?

I don't agree that this is a given. See below.

> plus switching tabs while the mouse is over the close button is useful.

personally I agree ... but it apparently depends on the user's perspective.

If main objective is decide which tab to close while scrolling through tabs ->
should allow scroll tabs over close button
If main objective is read a tab (and scroll the contents to help decide) if one
is done with it -> should allow scroll of page (not tabs) while over close button
