 Thus user names become unreadable, as can be seen in the screenshot
 attached.

 Tested on WinXP, the problem is also a bit GTK theme dependent, so it
 might be a better or worse depending on the theme selected, but I couldn't
 find any where it's flawless.

Comment:

 Does this correct itself if you set the tabs to be on top/bottom and then
 back to the side? I don't believe we intend to ellipsize side tabs at all,
 and I don't see that here with my right-side tabs.

 Does trying the Raleigh theme make a difference?

Comment:

 Doesn't correct itself when changing placement and also occurs with
 Raleigh theme.

 I can confirm this for Linux/Ubuntu now as well.

 You can replicate it by temporarily renaming two users to eg. "MaSc" and
 "MaHa". When opening both tabs with placement left/right the inactive tab
 caption is always truncated.

Comment(by deryni):

 Ah, I see. This issue seems to be rather finicky to reproduce, I can get
 it to happen with the two names you suggest, but not with many other four
 letter names. I imagine it has something to do with letter widths but
 haven't figured it out.

Comment(by masc82):

 mmh it's happening on a regular basis here, also with longer similar or
 same length names. Try renaming two users to the same eg. "sh3mo" and open
 both, same thing. Since I don't merge ppl using multiple protocols, I have
 this pretty often.

 At work we use 4 letter abbreviations for all users in sametime, in fact I
 get it much more often, than it works correctly, so it's way from sporadic
 in this case.

 With same length users I would assume the problem is that inactive tabs
 are usually slightly smaller than active ones, thus the width calculated
 for an active tab is not always sufficient for an inactive one.

 If the correct client size of a tab can't be determined, maybe a static
 2-4px addition would help.

 See ticket #10680 for a patch to show a tooltip for ellipsized tab names.
