Tab Jumping Behavior

Tab Jumping Behavior
I use a vertical dual pane and tab widths set to 100, so the tabs generally overflow off pane.
When the tabs overflow off the pane -> a clicked tab will jump to the rightmost visible position, or the second to the right most visible position, on the pane.
Is there a way to keep the tabs from jumping positions when clicked, maintaining their position? Perhaps through a custom event action by running a script at startup... or any other way. It's a small thing but when you work with tabs a lot, it is bothersome.

Additional info -
I've configured the minimum and maximum tab width to 100 but this behavior still occurs at the defaults of 25 and 250.
XYversion 27.00.0100 (but behavior exists in all previous versions)

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.

Not sure I understand.

Can you show the problem in a screenshot?
Can you also show your tab settings (Configuration | Tabs and Panes | Tabs) in a screenshot?

Let me try to explain it better. Hopefully the video will help.
• If some tabs have overflowed offscreen to the right, when you bring those tabs onscreen, this is what happens -- A clicked tab jumps to the right-most position in the pane.
• In the provided video - the tab for directory '12' begins in the right-most position. I click the mouse in same place. Each time, the clicked tab jumps to the rightmost position. This behavior stops when there are no longer offscreen tabs to the *left*

It's a small quirk but having all the tabs in a pane shift because 1 tab was clicked is jolting, especially if you are constantly clicking between tabs.

Thanks for having a look.

Thanks, got it now. But if your clicked tab remained at its position, the only way to reach the left, hidden tabs would be using the "tab list" button (arrow down). Some users would not see that way.

Yes, I absolutely see the logic in the user interface. It should prevent some users from 'losing' tabs that move off the screen.
Over the years I've found many useful scripts in the forum, so just thought I'd ask if there was a way to turn it off, perhaps through scripting and a custom event action. If not, no problem, and please consider an on/off option as a feature request.
Also, for your consideration, I'm attaching an example from another app that manages overflow tab visibility with 3 arrows (display all, left, right).
Thank you.
