I customised tab-bar-tab-name-function to -truncated but it still shows
the truncated name in the tooltip. If I change -format-function to
-truncated, then I don't see the truncation in the tab name...
I am changing the functions as per the choices in the Custom interface.

That would be much more convenient, and make the customisation around
the tab name a lot less confusing.
