Description:
In the table editor, there is a tab for each table opened in the editor. These tabs have close boxes (with an X in them). When there are more tabs than can fit in the alloted area, the close boxes are displayed on screen to the right of the alloted area (which happens to be the database list widget). Screen shot coming when I figure out how to attach to the bug report.

How to repeat:
Open enough tables in the table editor to have tabs fill the full width of the editor, then open one more table. The close tab will appear in the area to the right.

Table tabs spill over to adjacent display area

The close boxes which have spilled over actually work as close boxes, and they will readjust their positions automatically when leftward tabs are closed, as expected of properly functioning tabs.

Thank you for the bug report.

Scrolling of the tabs has been enabled to minimize problems when several tabs are present, but the spilling over itself will remain as that is a GTK bug.
I'm closing this as Won't fix because there's not much we can do in Workbench without resorting to some sort of ugly and undesirable hack.
