Rapid middle click to close tabs causes browser to go behind open programs

Project Member Reported by mullens@google.com, Mar 2 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open a program behind Chromium
2. Open a bunch of new tabs
3. Use middle click to rapidly close those tabs

What is the expected behavior?
Tabs should close, and Chromium should stay in focus

What went wrong?
Between tab closes, there's an animation delay, so the middle click affects the toolbar, causing the browser to go behind the open program.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 48.0.2564.116  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0

This applies to Cinnamon desktop on Linux, and probably other desktop environments.

Status: Untriaged (was: Unconfirmed)
Able to reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome stable version #59.0.3071.115 and latest chrome version #61.0.3145.0.

This is a non regression issue as it is observed from M47 old builds.

Hence, marking it as untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Note: M46 and older builds tend to crash when launched.

Thanks...!!
