Description:
Specific version: MySQL Workbench 6.2.3.12312 build 2280 (64 bits) Community

1) When many tabs are created they are contracted to fit the width, but when some of them are closed, others do not expand to fit the space.

2) Also there's no indication whether the mouse is pointed at the 'switch to tab' or 'close the tab'.

How to repeat:
1) Be sure that tabs autosaving is switched on. Open so many new tabs that only '*x' is displayed. Close the Workbench and open again. Close half of the tabs. See they're not expanded.

2) Hover over the right cross in the tab caption. See it's not highlighted.

Suggested fix:
1) Upon tab closing the width of other tabs should be recalculated so they expand to the available width. Probably, the width recalculation method that's called upon opening a new tab can be reused.

2) It'll be convenient to highlight the cross when the click on the current position on the tab will close it.
