g:wintabs_ui_active_left Not applied to first tab

[jordwalke]

I believe the first wintab doesn't show the active_left character:

let g:wintabs_display='statusline'
set hidden
let g:wintabs_autoclose=2
let g:wintabs_autoclose_vim=1
let g:wintabs_autoclose_vimtab=1
let g:wintabs_switchbuf='useopen,usetab'
let g:wintabs_ui_active_higroup = 'TabLineSel'

" If doing some custom rendered GUI use a not-actually space.
" let intertabSpace= ' '
let intertabSpace= ' '
let activeWinTabChar = '|'
" This must be different to distinguish.
let activeVimTabChar = '|'
let activeWinTabChar = '▎'
" This must be different to distinguish.
let activeVimTabChar = '▍'
let g:wintabs_ui_sep_leftmost=intertabSpace
let g:wintabs_ui_sep_inbetween=intertabSpace
let g:wintabs_ui_active_right=intertabSpace
let g:wintabs_ui_active_left=activeVimTabChar 
let g:wintabs_ui_sep_rightmost=intertabSpace
let g:wintabs_ui_modified=' ◎'
let g:wintabs_ignored_filetypes=[]
" Annotating the active vimtab makes it always available for detection
let g:wintabs_ui_active_vimtab_left=activeVimTabChar
let g:wintabs_ui_active_vimtab_right=intertabSpace

let g:wintabs_ui_arrow_left='«'
let g:wintabs_ui_arrow_right='»'

Not sure if this is one of the old design flaws that I now treat as a "feature". I rewrote some of the rendering steps to support unicode and custom rendering, which might be able to fix it. I haven't documented the changes yet, but you can take a look at https://github.com/zefei/vim-wintabs-powerline and see if that can help.

I see one can define their own custom renderer now. Nice.

Created a pull request in case you feel like it's worth merging: https://github.com/zefei/vim-wintabs/pull/28 Here's how I'm using it: To create the appearance of an IDE "currently selected tab" UI:

Without my PR, the blue selected line doesn't show up on the leftmost tab when active.
