NB6.8

Sometimes, the behavior of the output view mentioned in issue summary is a bit annoying - it is not possible to close the last tab with the last stream easily (it is possible via the context menu, which is not too intuitive).

Is it really worth saving the single line (for tabs) in the case?

Note that the behavior of windows is not very consistent in this - try:

- invoking "Find" above the project node -> even one tab is displayed in "Search" TC
- "Output", "Find Usages" window -> if there is only one result, tabs are not displayed, otherwise they are

Also any tooltip text and icon set on the tab is hidden when only one tab is open.
