--- Comment #1 from Caolán McNamara <[email protected]> ---
This is true. They are now real GtkNotebooks instead of vcl TabControls themed
to look like GtkNotebooks, so how they now operate (under gtk3+) is under gtk's
control rather than vcl/libreoffice.

The change from libreoffice double (or triple) decker tabs is one of the two
(other is the entry-less combobox untype-aheadable menus) problems that worries
me most.

so...

a), what is worth noting, is that a right click on the notebook tab area will
bring up a list of tabs for the instant overview of what's available.

b) this particular dialog is sw/uiconfig/swriter/ui/paradialog.ui, editing with
glade will show, for the GtkNotebook entry "tabcontrol", under General, the tab
position option. That can be changed from "top" to "left" in which case the
overview of what's available is again possible, though at the possible expense
of being a even more radical change to the ui.

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/61487/ is an example of that for
format->paragraph. Does that seem better or worse to you ? Given the feedback
at the recent LibreOffice conference I'm inclined to risk changing to left
aligned tabs at the crossover point where the tabs become scrolled.

(FWIW in impress/draw format->styles->edit) has 16 tabs, I think that's the
maximum number we currently show
