I've been reading a bit into the Qt toolkit but am not quite to a point where I can find where to make a change to prevent this annoying situation:
What I would prefer is for the minimum tab width to be set to maybe 180 pixels (non-HiDPI) or thereabouts, so that all fixture names will be legible even with dozens of fixtures present in a function, and scroll buttons or a scroll bar would appear to access tabs offscreen.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to look in the QLC+ source, or suggest a specific patch?
Thanks,
Matt
Tabs too small for text with many fixtures

There's a potential fix with these two changes (messy GitHub usage; still learning...)

For fixtures with very long names, it might make more sense to still use ElideMiddle but somehow set a minimum width for the tabs. I'm looking into that.

Or you can use the non-tabbed view
