Originally created by @nurbles on GitHub (Aug 7, 2019).

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.

The TabView control template for the tab items, should ensure the close button gets priority as the control scales down.

In the mean time, override the title with tabTitle or change your shell configuration to set a better title.

I don't really see the duplication as I was reporting that the close tab control was being overwritten by a long title, while #608 seems to be about configuring custom titles. However, I can understand blaming something else, I do that all the time myself. :-)

FWIW, If I add and remove more tabs, the tab with an over-long title will get 'fixed' to show the whole title and the close control. I have been able to get a new tab to obscure the close control with much shorter tab titles, too, by adding tabs of different types -- it rarely takes more than one of two attempts, no matter which shell type I choose. Oh well. I tried.
