Comparing kate and dolphin tabs

Kate seems to use some sort of custom tabs that are not used in any other KDE program as far as I know. They are way larger and dragging them feels unresponsive and clunky.
Could they be changed to be like the ones in dolphin?

I believe this has been implemented in Kate. Can you please check with an updated version and confirm the setting Behaviour > Expand Tabs un-ticked meets your needs?
Comment 2 Topi 2020-10-29 13:50:10 UTC
Yes, this seems to be fixed in Kate 20.08
