Description of the new feature/enhancement
When you use multiple panes in a single tab, and one of them exits with an error code, the pane is "stuck" displaying it. There are only 2 ways to dismiss the error message and close that pane:
Ctrl + Shift + W
, which I can never rememberI have read in your FAQs why that message is kept, and I understand it, but this behaviour ("closeOnExit": "graceful") works fine only if you are using an entire tab, because you can easily close it by clicking on its X, but the GUI doesn't provide a way for closing a single pane.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
When the pane is "stuck" on the message displaying the error code, a graphical "X" should appear in its top-right corner. Clicking on it closes the pane.
