The default title for my powershell tabs is so long that (a) it is cut off and (b) the 'X' to close the tab is not displayed, for example:

wt-title

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.239]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):  0.3.2171.0

Any other software? no

I did edit the settings to make two changes: The point size for all fonts is now 12 instead of 10 and CMD is the default instead of powershell.

Steps to reproduce

Open a powershell tab in Windows Terminal

Expected behavior

At a minimum, I would expect the tab close control to remain visible or at least a click where the control belongs should close the tab.

Actual behavior

The long path appears to overwrite the close tab control and prevent any clicks from reaching the close tab control.
