People have been trying to override the idiotic innovation of truncated layout tab display ever since they introduced the little triangles which pop up a list of layout tabs no longer shown along the bottom of the screen. I just found the solution (again) and since they keep it so well hidden I thought I'd add it as a post.
Right-click the model tab. Click on the last option in the pop-up list: dock above status bar
Now you have your full run of layout tabs available again.
