Properties Tab Issue

I don’t know if this is intentional behavior, but it is extremely annoying when I’m working on a game and I have to click in different spots to open tabs, or my tabs get squished up because of a recent update to the Properties pane.
You can see what it has been doing here:

I’ve never organized my windows in such a way. Neat stuff.

It’s really annoying, and it’s been happening for a while. It’s not exactly a bug, but rather a poorly thought out feature.

I’m also having this issue.

Yeah, there can only be one properties window, so it doesn’t really make sense to show the name of the selected object(s) on the tab (on the window header it’s fine, but on the tab not so much). It’d be nice if long names were truncated better too – if you try to dock the script editor with a long name, this happens:

If anyone’s wondering what I was trying to do with that, it was a custom properties window kind of deal where you’d modify a GUI in ServerStorage and it’d set it to preview in the StarterGui. Either way, names on these tabs should be truncated before they go out of control and squish other tabs.

Your tab game is not strong


I always treated properties like it was the most important tab and thusly gave it 100% coverage no matter what. I always internally cried whenever I saw someone put it under Explorer or something like that.
