Opening and closing a new tab loses your place

Describe the Issue

Opening and closing a new tab loses where I was in the collection. Basically Postman tabs has no idea of a stack, on closing a tab it stupidly just opens the one that's to the left of it, even if previously I was on a tab that was to the right.

This problem gets worse the more tabs that are open. Almost every day I open an endpoint, close it again, then scroll through the tabs to get back to the previously focussed endpoint. Postman has had this bad tab navigation for forever. I keep thinking someone would fix it. But maybe it's just me... Is nobody else really annoyed by this?

Steps To Reproduce

1. I have two tabs open, A and B.
2. I am viewing tab A.
3. Then I open a new tab C.
4. When I close tab C, I'm now viewing page B. Postman has forgotten that I was on tab A.
