bug#62575: 29.0.60; Tabs are not showing the right names of the buffers

[Claudio Grondi]

Below the steps required to reproduce the bug:

1. ~ $ emacs -Q
2. Menu -> Options -> Show/Hide -> Tab Bar (gives Tab *scratch*)
3. 1x click on rightmost * in the Tab Bar to create a new Tab (gives 2x 
*scratch* Tabs)
4. With the rightmost (second) Tab open ~/.emacs (gives 1x *scratch* and 
1x .emacs Tabs)
5. 2x click on rightmost * in the Tab Bar to create twp new Tabs (gives 
1x *scratch* and 3x .emacs Tabs)
6. with rightmost Tab active kill the .emacs buffer [C-x k] (the Tabs 
label turns  to *scratch the other two Tabs labeled .emacs keep their 
labels, so there are 1x *scratch*, 2x .emacs, 1x *scratch* Tabs)
7. *click the second Tab labeled* .emacs' (result: the label of the Tab 
turns to *Messages*. the Tab Bar shows *scratch* *Messages* .emacs 
*scratch* )

The bug: the third Tab still keeps its  .emacs  label, the click on the 
second Tab labeled  .emacs  did not show the .emacs file, but the buffer 
*Messages*.

No, you haven't created the situation shown in the images with 3x .emacs 
Tabs.

You ask probably only to force me to provide a textual description as I 
assume you know exactly that what you described can't show the buggy 
behavior.
