         * Fixes some issues where SuperTab has trouble editing labels that have
         * been truncated.
         * 
         * The original SuperTab uses the same textField used by regular tabs to
         * _display_ the label to edit it, as well, simply setting it to an
         * editable text field instead of merely a dynamic one. However, when
         * the tab truncates the text of the field for width, and then is edited
         * again, this means that the text in the editable field is truncated.
         * 
         * This quick override simply restores the text by reading from the
         * tab's label proeprty, which is never truncated, and resetting the
         * selection to cover the newly expanded text.
