I upgraded to Chrome Version 23.0.1271.64 and Command + w is now closing the active window instead of closing the active tab only. Is there a "hidden" shortcut for closing the active tab only?

Interesting. Command + W closes the active tab for me. Note that Shift + Command + W closes the active window. – bassplayer7 Nov 22 '12 at 3:29

Ok, I just needed to restart the computer. The keyboard mappings are now working as expected.

Just tried with the same version and Command+W closes just the active tab. Maybe you installed something the re-mapped the keyboard shortcuts (such as an extension)?

Cant understand the down vote, how do you answser this in another way? – Ricardo Gomes Nov 23 '12 at 9:17
This…isn't really an answer. Things like these should (as far as I'm concerned) usually be posted as comments (like this one). The question itself is rather hard to answer; though if you knew of “a "hidden" shortcut for closing the active tab only”, you could post that as an answer. – Blacklight Shining Nov 23 '12 at 16:34
