'Open Editors' panel has unnecessary padding #230838

Description

Hello VSCode friends,

The 'Open Editors' panel seems to have some extra unneeded padding on the left-hand side:

It looks like some part of this is to provide a 'close' x button or an "unsaved changes" dot indicator, and some of the padding serves no purpose that I can see. I have a pretty small laptop screen, so this extra space could be put to better use rendering longer file names.

Would it make sense to remove the extra padding, and change the x button to only appear on hover on the right-hand-side, like the behaviour in the SCM commits panel?

If you think this change makes sense, I would be happy to attempt changing it myself. If you think this is too minor an issue to address, or shouldn't be fixed, by all means feel free to close.
