Description

Area-UserInterface Issue-Bug Priority-3 Product-Terminal Tracking-External

I see that tabs in WT 0.8 have fixed length and that, if the case, their title is truncated, the same occurs in other GNU/Linux terminals only that these add ... to the truncated title: also WT should do this, I think, maybe ~/work/... is better than ~/work/.

I see that the +V on the window title is attached to the lats tab. Would it be better to attach it to the reduce to icon button of the window? In this way, one should gain some more 'space' for the tab length...

See the attachment:

example

between the V and the - there is a wasted space in the window title.
