[Feature]: Increase the text limit for tab titles

[dilippitchika]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Today the text limit of tab widget's characters is 20 characters post which it truncates. Developer wants to increase this to ensure the text doesn't cut off

Why should this be worked on?

When I am organising content in tabs, I want to be able to use longer titles for my tabs so that I can provide more descriptive labels for my app's content and improve its usability.

@dilippitchika do you have a solution in mind?

[dilippitchika]

Not yet, i have asked client team to let us know what the names of tabs they are looking to use are. Based on that we want to understand how to change this

[Vishrut19]

Hey! Can I work on this issue?

[dilippitchika]

Hey @Vishrut19 we are waiting for our client to suggest us the new limit, that's taking some time. Let me try to expedite it, in the mean time feel free to pick other good first issues.

[dilippitchika]

Hey folks @somangshu and @Vishrut19 the new limit for text should 25 characters or 180px, whichever is maximum
