Is it possible to make Notepad++'s UI tab width constant, instead of responsive to filenames? (NOT the Tab character)

For some reason Notepad++'s UI tab width (not the Tab character, the literal UI tab) responds to the length of file names. This could probably be handy, but for me it's just annoying because I have a small screen, and longer file names means fewer tabs available at a time, so I have to keep scrolling back and forth even though I only have a handful of files opened. Is there any setting for UI tab width to be constant as in most other programs? To be clear, renaming files for shorter names is not an option.

It doesn't seem to be a currently implemented feature, however if you are able to sacrife some screen real estate on the side you could try the Document List Panel.

Under Settings > Preferences, check "Hide" in the Tab Bar section and check "Show" and "Disable extension column" in the Document List Panel Section. This essentially gives you a vertical tab bar that can be moved around or attached to the side.

The Document List Panel can also be found under View > Document List in the menu bar (a row of menus at the top of the program screen).
