[GNC] Gnucash-3.0: What's going on with tab label truncation?

[Adrien Monteleone]

This might be fixed in the next release. The last comment by Bob on bug 794953: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794953, seems to explain his solution such that what you are seeing will likely also be fixed. (might even be the same issue)
