#248 Miscalculation of tab width of the indicator for tabs with changes

[Ronald]

When I edit something, the normal behaviour is that an asterisk is placed to the right of the file name in order to show that the buffer had changed. This asterisk is not visible if the file name is longer than a certain length. Have a look at the attached screenshots. The first shows a part of the tab row where no buffer has been changed. The second screenshot shows the tab row, after the buffer for the file decorate_chains.rb has been changed. As we can see, there is no asterisk placed to the right of the file name. Instead, the filename is displayed as decorate_chains..., without the extension .rb. Because of adding the asterisk, the string to be displayed became too long, and the asterisk is therefore not visible.

I suggest that either the tabwith is calculated so that it accomondates the trainling asterisk, or that the asterisk is placed in front of the file name and hence guaranteed to be visible.

I wanted to attach 2 attachments, but it seems that this is not possible. I try to add the other one now.

Note: capture_20170717_133732.jpg shows the first screenshot (unmodified buffer) and capture_20170717_133803.jpg shows the second screenshot (dirty buffer).
