I just encountered this exact same issue.

To fix this, it seems the opened tabs need to maintain their "edit state" in an in-browser data store.

An interim fix might be to perform the same logic that is run when a tab is closed, where the user is warned that their edits will be lost. That's really not ideal though. The expectation is that I can modify more than one tab at a time.
