Build Identifier: rap-runtime-1.4.0-M2-20100928-1646

I have 6 Tabs in a screen, only 2 tabs are show in the initial screen, there is no way for me scroll to the rest of the tabs. It works fine with CTabFolder and CTabItem as it gives a little >> to scroll, it would be nice if  < > arrows in the left hand corner so we can easily navigate

Reproducible: Always

So basically you want to make the TabFolder horizontally scrollable.
As this apparently works in SWT (at least in Windows 7), this is a valid bug. However, the way i understand it, you can just use CTabFolder instead, or is this somehow not an option?

CTabFolder works fine, but unfortunately I am using TabFolder all over the palce. More over I do not like the dropdown of CTabFolder espcially it confuses if you have tabs to your left and right. 

If it too hard to fix I can migrate to CTabFolder, but this would put a limitation on TabFolder from an framework stand point for RAP. Either way is fine for me.

I think when we fix Bug 329681, we have to rewrite the layouting of TabItems anyway, so we can do add this feature in the process. For now i have no idea when we are getting around to that. However, this this is mostly an issue for small displays like smartphones, which are a focus of this release.
