Closing a tab doesn't remove it from the list (on SOME machines!)
Hello.
I share the same Chrome profile between some computers, mostly it is Linux on personal laptop and Windows 7 on work laptop. On my home computer (linux) everything is perfectly fine. On the other one (work Windows) laptop, phantom tabs stay on the list every time I close a tab in any way. This sounds very similar to an issue that was reported as fixed 2 years ago.
Only closing tabs from TO works as expected.
I'd like to repeat once again that this issue is affecting only one of my machines and both use the same Google account = the same extensions.

I also have been having an extremely similar problem (started showing up around version 30 I think). My problem is that when closing the tab from in a chrome window it almost always still shows up in TO but as an inactive tab - but not 100% of the time. I have found that when closing the tab from within a tab but from another tab it very often (but again not 100% of the time) shows in TO as properly closed and not inactive.
Also when closing it from TO very often it closes and shows as inactive (again not 100% of the time and almost all the time if the tab as already inactive).
When the tab is closed but shows as inactive in TO instead of closed then the only way of opening it is using the chrome feature to reopen recently closed tabs - using TO to try to reopen it just takes you to the currently active chrome tab.

I found that most likely such behaviour is a result of the fact that your Chrome have the "Enable fast tab/window close" flag enabled.
Go to
chrome://flags/
and disable the
Enable fast tab/window close
option
(it's not standard anyway and is under development)

That pesky flag!! I thought I was going crazy. This thread solved my problem of tabs not being removed from the list.
This fix worked for me!
Basically, whenever I closed my chrome set of windows, they remained open in Tabs Outliner (TO). Disabling the flag as outlined above fixed the issue.
