Sorry, but fully shown in the  4.4 release notes
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.4#Tab_changes>   posted
since January.

/Tab changes

Sheet tabs (Calc) and layer tabs (Draw) were moved to an independent row and
are no longer displayed next to the horizontal scrollbar. As many visual
styles under Linux (in addition to the default OS X configuration) use very
thin scrollbars, these rendered the tabs too small to be clickable and, most
importantly, readable.

The tabs have an updated, flatter look./


You can read the rational and dev actions on  tdf#36772
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36772>  --UI: Sheet
tabs appear too small because LibreOffice has problems with certain themes
or does not force a minimim hight for tabs

And some counter discussion on  tdf#87684
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87684>  -- UI: Calc
sheet tabs and horizontal scroll bar are now wasting twice the space

Point is, this is nothing new or exceptional, the change was implemented Aug
2014.   If you'd like to avoid such unpleasantness, perhaps you should
invest a little of your own time and check out some of the more current
builds spun out by the project TinderBox's at
