To avoid confusion, I must mention that I'm talking about the few tabs on the right side which get hidden [due to less space in tiled state] and not the visible ones. There can be an arrow or scrolling facility to reveal them.

how did you access the rest of the tabs then? by dragging or is there an arrow for this?

I believe you are referring vertical tiling of the windows. When I vertically tile LibreOffice on my screen to exactly half of the screen  I was able to see all the tabs as expected. When I move the slider to reduce the LibreOffice Window size lesser than half I'm not able to see/access a few tabs as you mentioned. Please confirm if this is the scenario you mentioned.

yes, it's about vertical tiling. But I'm losing tabs even in half of the screen. May be it's due to screen resolution difference, mine is 1366*768. Anyway, it's still an issue if one loses access to tabs by reducing to any not-too-small-size. Right? Or at least for half of the screen.

Yes, it could be the screen resolution. My resolution setting is 2736*1824 and I am running the application on windows operating system.

Dear shariqkeen,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
