Description
In the Query Tool, when a query file is modified (unsaved changes), the modified indicator (asterisk *) is shown after the filename in the tab title.
It should appear before the filename (standard behavior in most editors/IDEs).
Current behavior
filename.sql *
Expected behavior
* filename.sql
Having the modified mark before the filename is the conventional UI pattern and improves readability of the tab titles.
To Reproduce
Open the Query Tool.
Open or create a query file.
Make any change so the file becomes modified.
Observe the tab title — the * is placed after the filename.
Desktop: Windows 11
pgAdmin version: 9.16
