Full description:
Currently, when new window is opened in Document tab, the column gets the width of the largest tab title. This makes column size floating as tabs are opened/closed which is quite odd when your workspace is changing every few seconds. See attached screenshots.

I would prefer to have an option to set documents tabs to fixed width. When this option is checked, the user will have an option to adjust size of Documents tabs column by dragging the border as it was any other window.

It would be also awesome if the Documents tabs was changed to style of Window in order to place some other window under it, for example as with Navigator Window & Projects Window - I can have these two in one column on the left side and I wish to have Documents tabs Window & Services Window on other side.


tl;dr: Make option to have Documents Tabs as regular Window instead of fixed column.
