Hello,

This is not a bug.  It is intended behavior.  Common directory names are
shortened to a single letter because they are not useful when telling tabs
apart from one another.  

For example, if I have tabs open in:

.../kde4/src
.../<work-project>/src
.../<top-secret-project>/src

Then just showing 'src' as the directory name is not useful.  Instead these
names are shortened to a single letter to minimize the tab space taken for when
there are a lot of tabs open and the previous name is added.

Smarter behavior would be to show the full text ('src','build') in addition to
the the previous directory name when there are a small number of tabs open and
then trim these to a single letter when there are more tabs open:

eg:  'kde4/src', '<workproject>/src' with a few tabs open.  Then trimmed to
'kde4/s', '<workproject>/s' when there are lots of tabs open.
