avoid change tab width with wrap tabs option

[yukulele]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.72.0
• OS Version: ubuntu 22.04

Steps to Reproduce:

1. switch on workbench.editor.wrapTabs option
2. open some files
3. play with file content and save button.

Actual result:

the width of the tabs changes depending on whether the file is saved, file git status or if there are errors. Often this adds or removes a line of wrapped tabs that is visually annoying.

Expected result:

When workbench.editor.wrapTabs is enabled, the width of the tabs should only be based on the file name.

I'm unable reproduce this. Untitled tabs by default are showing text from first line in its title, this does change the width of the tab, any other actions don't seem to have any effect on the tab width. However, number of action icons at the end of tab bar does affect how they wrap - depending on file type there might be different number of action icons, and they might change available space in the tab bar, making tabs wrap or not (#115136)

I made a video to show my problem.
not sure if it's the same as #115136

Yes, I now can reproduce it too. And it's different from #115136

Perhaps a solution could be to show these additional data (number of errors, file status, etc) as floating overlay, which would not be considered in tab width.
Just a quick test, this works (looks ugly, but works):

.monaco-icon-label:after
{
    position: absolute;
    right: -1em;
    background-color: rgb(30, 30, 30);
    z-index: 1;
    opacity: 1;
}

Lets fold into #115136, I updated the description. I think the issue is underlying the same.
