Mutiple opened tabs don't show properly

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.239[run "ver" at a command prompt]
Windows Terminal version 0.2.1831.0:

Any other software? No

Steps to reproduce

material. -->
Opened one WSL terminal tab with a relatively long path like this:

The path is too long to give other opened tabs space to show.

I opened another WSL tab, but I cannot see it in the tab bar, only when I maximize the window size can I see it.

normal size

maximum size

Expected behavior

The tab with relatively long path should shorten itself to give other tabs enough space to show, like in vscode or vs.

Actually this could not be a bug, but may be an issue or feature to be considered.

This might be related to #608 and #1358, where support for a custom tab title was added with the tabTitle setting. I have shortened mine, as can be seen here. It doesn't appear to support a dynamic titles at the moment, but there was some talk of that in #1320. On a side note, it looks like you are running an older build which might not support tabTitle yet.

Just an update, as those mentioned sequences from #608 might also be of interest to you. I added the following to my .zshrc:

# Uncomment the following line to disable auto-setting terminal title.
DISABLE_AUTO_TITLE="true"
precmd () { print -Pn "\e]0;wsl - %3d\a" }

Although I don't know what it exactly does yet, it does suit my needs, as my title now only consists of the last three directories.

Also #857 😄

We should have better documentation on how to drive dynamic titles from the shell. That'd be cool.
