Description xgdgsc 2014-09-25 15:42:26 UTC 
When there are many tabs, tab titles are shown as "...", which is not the case in previous versions. Current "..." doesn' t carry any information and makes me uncomfortable. There should be better ways to show multiple tabs in the same window. I would prefer multiple lines of tabs as some browsers implement, than current useless multiple tabs. The nautilus shipped with ubuntu 14.04 (3.10.1-0ubuntu8) does not seem to have this problem. My system is nautilus 3.12.2-1 with archlinux.
Comment 1 xgdgsc 2014-09-26 07:06:57 UTC 
I meant old nautilus can show more tab titles before the tab number reach the point to turn to "..." in a similar window size.

Thanks for the bug report.

We have now set a tab titles to be at minimum 6 characters long.
