Bug #25080	tabsheets not on the initial list are confusing

Description:
When creating enough tabsheets so that the next one goes into the tabsheet list (the little icon appears)

There is really no way to tell in WHICH tabsheet you really are - all you know is that you're not in the ones displayed on top of the screen.

You can work around this by renaming the tabsheets to shorter names, but that kind of defeats the purpose of beaing able to rename the tabsheets to a constructive name in the first place...

[Also note that the last tabsheet "[x]" icon often "goes over" (or under) the extra tabsheet icon.]

How to repeat:
Create a bunch of tabsheets, select one which is not on the screen with the extra tabsheet icon on the upper right.

Suggested fix:
At least display a checkmark, dot or other icon on the list of tabsheet.

Ideally though I'd like to see the active timesheet name somewhere on the screen.
