Is there a way to make the sheet tabs in calc smaller?
I've just installed 6.3.2.2 (the version currently on the main download page) to discover that the sheet tabs now take up approximately double the screen estate they used to. While this is probably a nice thing for those with poor eyesight, where is the option for the rest of us to turn this off? For my needs, the 1-2 rows fewer of data and now-required horizontal scrolling of the tab bar (my most used spreadsheet has 19 tabs) mean the 6.3 GUI is a significant downgrade on 6.2.
edit: This is on Xubuntu Linux, none of my system settings have changed since upgrading.

I'm not talking about the length of the tab names, default or otherwise so these answers don't help. I'm talking about the font size used for the label and especially the amount of padding around the label. Both of which mean that a tab of the same name takes up much more space in 6.3 than in 6.2 (my tab names are usually as short as I can meaningfully make them anyway, e.g. "Data", "Locatns", "Qtype", "UKwa", etc.).
As I say this is probably good for visually impaired people, but it should be customisable for those of us who are fortunate enough to have eyesight that doesn't require large text and prefer to see data than unnecessary padding (seriously, it's about 2em!).
