Yes, that is the case. If you want the number to show up in the tab
label, you may customize the tab line. See `:help setting-tabline`.

:3tabnext

(See `:help :tabnext`). Or use gt, as already suggested.

I don't think there is a way to show tab labels that do not fit, except
by enlarging the terminal (or GUI) window.

You haven't specified what your use case is for lots of tabs. But if you
tend to open each file in a separate tab, that is not how tabs are meant
to be used. You should think of tabs as workspaces (groups of windows),
not files.

Hope this helps,
Life.
