This is related to issue #2541 and #5881

This feature works correctly when the display scale is set to 100%, but if it is set to a different scale space is introduced between the edge of the screen and the tab. This makes it impossible to click on the tab when the mouse cursor is at the edge of the screen.

This is a video of it working correctly (display scale 100%):

Correct Tab Behaviour

This is a video of it not working (display scale 150%):

I'm almost certain this is /dup #11309. Seems like it's somehow related to the layout of the monitors itself - I've had no luck in reproing it on my current setup, but I believe that @DHowett has had some luck in the past (if he wants to try and debug it)
