Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.239
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.3.2171.0

Steps to reproduce

  • Open Windows Terminal (Preview)
  • The default Powershell tab opens, with the title "c:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"
  • click the + button to open a new tab
  • A second tab opens. the title "c:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" does not fit inside the tab, and is cut off at "...\pow" before the new Tab + button

Expected behavior

  • The x to close the second tab would be visible, after the truncated window title, and before the New Tab + button, to allow the tab to be closed.

Actual behavior

  • There is no x to close the tab available. It is truncated along with the window title.

Thanks for the report. I think there are at least two other identical reports on the front page of the issue list so I’m going to close this one without digging up the number.
