GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 162239
More tabs must reduce the size of each tab
Last modified: 2009-05-03 10:20:54 UTC
Suppose if much more tabs are opened, GtkNotebook's tab scroll capability is enabled. A better way is like that of Firefox, which shrinks the width of tabs to make more room for other tabs. Other information: Compare the opening of more tabs in firefox and epiphany. Firefox is actually having good usability in this regard.
The old behaviour was buggy, and is not cleanly implementable with current gtk+ notebook API. Bug 153725 is about making the tab labels smaller, so I'm going to dup against it. Also I consider firefox way not very usable, since it makes the close buttons vary position with each tab added/removed, and their tabs can get so small that only a few letters (even only the "...") may be visible when there are many. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 153725 ***

Can anyone reopen this bug? Bug 153725 is marked fixed with a resolution which does not fix what this bug requests. Hence this bug is not a duplicate of bug 153725.
