One can drill down to a database/table, right click on it and select an item called "Properties" that brings up a tabbed properties dialog, showing (presumably) all modifiable settings for that particular table.
There is also a "Properties" tab in the main window that shows a selection of settings/info about the currently selected table. This information is not quite the same as right-clicking and selecting "Properties" as described above.
There should only be one "Properties" interface for an entity (presumably the one you get by right-clicking on the entity). Whether you choose to offer alternative ways to access it (e.g., right-click and select "Properties", or click on the "Properties" tab in the main window) you should see exactly the same information/settings.
If the argument is that the "Properties" tab in the main window is supposed to be different because it only shows a quick snapshot or overview of the entity, then call it something appropriate! E.g., rename the tab to be "Overview" or "Entity" or "Quick View" or something to indicate it's just a high-level subset of the actual properties.
And as per RM #6966, regardless of whether the "Properties" tab shows the same information as right-click "Properties" or just a subset (and is renamed to something less confusing than "Properties"), the main window tab should be closable...
