Hi Juri, et al,

I noticed that, when I added a mode line construct to global-mode-line 
and enabled the display of such in the tab line (using 
tab-bar-format-align-right, etc.), the construct wrapped onto a second 
line in the tab bar.  I looked at the source code of 
tab-bar-format-align-right and noticed that it uses length instead of 
string-width.  I changed it to string-width and it fixed the problem.

Note that a similar problem remains: if the tab-bar face has, for 
example, a larger height than the default face, the width will still be 
incorrectly calculated, causing wrapping onto a new line.  I don't know 
how to fix that, since window-text-pixel-size requires a buffer and a 
window.

But this is an improvement, anyway.

Thanks,
Adam

Please check Emacs 29 where tab-bar-format-align-right
contains a better improvement:

  (string-pixel-width (propertize rest 'face 'tab-bar))

Does this work in your case as well?

I don't have an Emacs 29 build readily accessible, but I see that Emacs 
28 has the function `shr-string-pixel-width', which I'm guessing is 
similar.  So I tried using that function, and it is an improvement, but 
not quite correct: rather than wrapping onto a new line, the string 
appears on the same line as the rest of the tab-bar, but it is not 
right-aligned as it should be.

If it would help you reproduce the problem to test whether Emacs 29 
already has a fix, all that seems to be necessary is to set the tab-bar 
face to, e.g. ":height 1.2", and add a string of some length (e.g. about 
20) to the global-mode-string, and see whether it wraps onto a new line 
and whether it's right-aligned.  If it seems correct on Emacs 29, then 
I'd guess it's already solved.

Thanks,
Adam

Thanks for the test case.  I tried it in Emacs 29, and everything looks nice,
so I'm closing this bug report.
