Confirmed. It should elide the tab similarly to the window title bar Working as expected I believe. Most likely you have "unlimited tabs" option set. Atm, if "Unlimited Tabs" is enabled then eliding is disabled and tab scrolling is enabled by kate. Scrolling is a must with unlimited tabs as otherwise the editor width can grow indefinitely leading to a bad experience. Not sure about eliding, that can be honored I think. Quick solution: Use a tab limit. (In reply to Waqar Ahmed from comment #2) > Working as expected I believe. Most likely you have "unlimited tabs" option > set.

In truth, it's completely unclear to me. Check "Behavior", in Kate settings. There's an option to limit tabs Besides that, yeah. How these settings effect each other is a bit confusing. Yeah, I see what you mean. I just wouldn't have thought of it myself. Also, there is a very funny behavior if "Limit number of tabs" limit to 1. Guys, something must be done about this.

Created attachment 151473 [details] Tab with the full long file name SUMMARY The option "Elide tab text" ("Settings" > "Behavior" > "Elide tab text") doesn't seem to work. I enabled this option, opened a file with a long name (100 characters) and the tab name shows the full file name.
