Address bar history: option to hide the remove (×) button, or confirm before removing

[laurent45654]

XnView MP 1.12.3, macOS

Since a recent update (no sure which ones), each entry in the browser’s address bar history has a small × button to remove it. The idea makes sense, but I keep deleting entries by accident: the × is easy to click when I’m only trying to pick a folder from the list, and there’s no undo.

I wonder if a setting to hide the × button (that I never use, except accidentally) would be possible?

Or perhaps a confirmation before removing an entry?

This is new since 1.12.3, together with the breadcrumb view.
I don't know how your Mac system reacts, but on a Windows PC, I find it hard to exactly "hit the mark" by accident. Only intentionally, and then not clicking a millimeter away from the x.

The problem is that the cross is right next to the dropdown arrow:



So for me I simply click the dropdown, try to click one of the entry immediately below, and then end up clicking on the cross. And since that can't be undone and there's no prompt, I have to browse again to whatever path I was trying to click.
