Excessive empty space in tab bar on Windows 10

Reported by abwic...@gmail.com, Nov 1 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.75 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. On Windows 10, open a Chrome window, not maximized
2. Open enough tabs to fill the tab bar

What is the expected behavior?
Tabs go all the way to the far right edge of the window, or to the very top of the window and just left of the user profile switcher and min/max/quit buttons.

What went wrong?
Tabs don't go to the right edge, or to the top edge. There is too much empty space. See top/right of screenshot (Canary 64.0.3254.0)

Did this work before? N/A

Able to reproduce this issue on reported verison 62.0.3202.75 and on latest canary 64.0.3256.0 using Windows 10,Ubuntu 14.04 with steps mentioned in comment#0 and attached file. Issue is not applicable to Mac

This issue is seen from M50[50.0.2661.0]. Hence considering this as Non-regression and marking this as Untriaged

Comment 3 by abwic...@gmail.com, Nov 2 2017

I believe this may be intentional, due to the much larger min/max/exit buttons in Windows 10. Extending over to the right might require adding more space to the top to not overlap those buttons; extending to the top and removing space under min/max/exit would practically prevent user from grabbing/dragging the window. Seems like an unfortunate catch-22 in design constraints on Windows 10.

This is indeed intentional. Comment #3 is exactly correct.
