OK, the first one is what I said. You are right, it isn't technical
bug in epiphany. But it should be a problem when people use it. At
least, my mom ask me why the program work like this. She was never
noticed this problem until epiphany 1.4 out, because it wasn't easy to
get the number of tabs when there are many tabs with small width.

In my viewpoint, it should work like this:
* When you created N tabs all were shown and there were no scroll buttons.
* When you created N+1 tabs, it should show N tabs with a little bit
smaller width and scroll buttons.

This is more intuitive than N-1 tabs with a bigger width. How do you
think? Maybe, I should ask this in gtk-devel-list.
