Chat Tab collides with Closing Chat

Describe the Bug

I am using the Emoji File Icons extension by mightbesimon. When doing so, the Chat Tab collides with the cross to close the chat tab. This was introduced around 1.1, if I remember correctly. I have been living with it for a while…

Steps to Reproduce

Install Emoji File Icons by mightbesimon. Enable Fun icons.
Open the chat pane.
Live in pain.

Jk, you have to hover around the bottom or top of the of the icon to select the chat without closing it.

Expected Behavior

The x used to be offset to the side and it said chat, so the UI didn’t collide.

Additional Information

When I close the chat, what I am writing in the chat window is gone…not saved or cached, just deleted from existence.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

This isn’t even with the emoji, just in general! Can you please fix this UI bug it’s been in here for so many versions!

Is anyone having this issue or is it just me?

**Same Problem, terrible design…

Hey, by default, Cursor displays chat tabs differently. You can try showing labels instead of icons.
