String Freeze Update

I have three suggestions.
 1. Tools > Preferences > Document Handling > Display single close-tab button. The tooltip states that, if checked, a single close-tab button will appear on the "left corner", but it actually appears on the far right of the tabbar (see attached images).
 2. Some command line options do not work properly (type "lyx --help" in a terminal). Try, for instance, issuing twice this command in the terminal (with an already existing LyX file) "lyx -v -f none -E lyxgz test my-existing-file.lyx"
  · option "-f none", not actually working, it still overwrites the output file if it exists.
  · option "-E" not working either, it ignores the second argument (output filename).
 3. Honestly I would change the "Show Changes in output" strings (related to change tracking), which I think are not clear enough (see thread http://lists.lyx.org/pipermail/lyx-devel/2023-September/010662.html).

 1. Has simple solution: change the string in "src/frontends/qt/ui_PrefDocHandlingUi.h (line 263)"
 2. Unsure whether this is intended and the "lyx --help" message is out-of-date, the other way around. In the former case, the changes to the help message are minimal.
 3. Not an error, but a (minor) UX improvement.
