Description Jaromir Stehlik 2021-04-15 16:17:06 UTC

Let's assume I have opened more tabs than could be seen at once on the screen. You can move currently shown tabs with toolbar arrows on the right. 

For example I rearrange this to show bunch of similar text files I want to switch rightaway and I want the same tabs to be shown, even if I edit or save a text file.

But as soon as I start changing the document, this view resets: The currently edited document tab shifts to the right, showing all documents to the left of currently edited in current tab arrangement.

It would be to be this behavior either default or there should be same option in View to fix current tab view as is, not to shift automatically after start of editing current file.

It is worth saying that this happens only when editing a saved file and tab updates to the one with not-saved icon.

Fix tab jumping with unlimited tabs

If we set the icon every time file is modified, it causes a lot of
layouting resulting in the tab bar getting scrolled.

With this change instead of setting an icon, we make the text italic to
show that this tab has modified content. This is more like other
editors.
